New Tank Suggestions

ttomkat1 · 03/13/2007, 11:13 PM

Hello all...

I am looking at upgrading my current setup (50 gal uniquarium) to something between 70-90 gallons. I am looking for a tank w/stand & canopy.

Any suggestions like where to buy? What kind/brand of tank? Etc...

Thanks mucho

I like All-Glass tanks. Good quality solid tank. The 90 is a nice tank. The best prices I've found for these have been with my LFS. Luckily I have a few reef dedicated lfs. This makes for good competition.

Lee-Mar is in your area too. They have great tanks from what I've seen/heard.

I would check out the new Oceanic Tech tanks. Reef Ready, Euro bracing and starphire glass for the front and I think side views. Really nice tank. I would have got one but they only make up to 120s.

Thanks for the input,

Now looking into an All-Glass 120g dual overflow. My LFS has a setup w/stand and canopy at a really good price.

Is the Oceanic worth the extra $$$

And they say crack is addicting...

I have the all-glass 90g with overflow but I sure wish I would have gotten the dual overflows.

A note:
The All-glass corner overflow is rated for 600gph and the All-glass Megaflows are rated for 700gph.

So even with dual Megaflows on a 90g it is only a 15x turnover rate.

Here is what the 120g Oceanic Tech Tank Looks like...
They make this in a 90. The front panel is Starphire glass, and it has euro-bracing, a lifetime warranty, and the bottom is not tempered.

Thanks for the picture Larry I could find one to save my life. They are awesome tanks. Once you look into one with the starphire glass you will realize that its worth the extra money.
