Large Glass Tank Question

[SPSFiend]

I am looking at having a 96L * 36W * 24 H glass tank made with eurobracing.

My concern is that I really want this tank to last a LONG time and I am trying to get a good feel for the life of a glass tank these days with current glass making practices.

I would like glass as opposed to acrylic because of the scratching issue (this tank will be a reef. Upgrading from my current 180G).

Also, this tank will be going into our new home in San Diego. So I was thinking of ordering it from Lee Mar since they are local there.

Do glass tanks last 15+ years no a days? What is a safe time to begin thinking about replacing a glass tank?

Appreciate the feedback!
