I emailed Ken from Finnex and I'm waiting for his reply (probably on Tuesday). I asked about the 22g glass M-Tank.
PA has the 20g by the way. I'm sure others have seen it, but I posted this because some people seemed interested. It's acrylic though, and I'm not much of a fan of acrylic, especially for this small of a tank. The odd thing is that it's quite a bit more and it doesn't have the skimmer(refugium instead). I realize that acrylic costs more, but it's about $75 more for a tank that's a bit smaller and doesn't have the skimmer. Seems odd to me. I was actually thinking about going with the Biocube from Oceanic, since I can get the 14g locally for about $180. The lighting is a bit on the week side, but I only want it for softies. I have MH over my main tank, so this would be for a "change of pace".
Acrylic isn't that bad, you just have to take care of it. And if you had that bad of a time with it bowing, you must have had a cheap acrylic tank. For this size tank, I wouldn't be worried about it bowing. I just hate the idea of having to be so careful. I'm kinda crazy with my rockwork. And 9 times out of 10, I have some piece of rock touching the tank. That wouldn't work too well with acrylic. The rounded corners on it look great. I just couldn't justify the extra $75 for no skimmer and adding acrylic. That seems crazy to me!

The tank now ships with a 10k bulb, a brand I didnt recognize. So they do not come with phoenix's.

I have the same light which came from nanotuners with the 14k Phoenix. I tried a 14k XM and like it much better whiter and brighter with a hint of blue. The Phoenix seemed to get dim and very blue quickly
