Great lakes aquariums 260

Ok guys I looked up this great lakes and talked to Steve seems like great people and think I might go with them seeing how I have not been able to get any info on get a huge tank .com but now my question or u guys first off has anyone delt with these guys and how are they . Next he tells me I would be better off with one single high flow over flow in the middle rather then both corners any thoughts ?next question are do you think the 400 difference in star fire glass is worth it ?last of all I would like the over all view from u guys if I should go with the 195 72x24x24 or the 96x24x26 260 gallon I plan on making this a mixed reef tank with a good amount of swim room .all thoughts and knowledge is very welcomed

I don't know about star fire glass personally , but I do think longer tanks are awesome. 8' tank would be killer and I'm sure the Gish would love the extra room.

Starphire glass is much clearer than regular glass. When I build my 700, the front pane will for sure be starphire. Def worth it IMO.
