What brand aquarium?

[HaleMoana]

I'm researching a 200+ gallon reef ready aquariums. I am considering All Glass, Perfecto and Oceanic. What are your recomendations and all feedback is welcomed!

Right now I am wrestling between 210 and 265 gallon.

thanks!

Two others to consider are glasscages.com and Marineland. Marineland has those cool deep dimension tanks!

^ I have heard negative reviews on glasscages. I can't speak from personal experience, but I've heard it from more than a few sources. Mostly from custom tanks though. Maybe their standard tanks are better?

You sell a lot of tanks, you're going to have more negative reviews than companies that sell smaller volume. Also, a lot of the complaints are for things like sloppy looking silicone. Yes, there's been some tank failures. I guess I'm saying - it's a risk I feel comfortable taking.

If you are considering Acrylic I highly recommend Envision Acrylics.
James is very knowledgeable and the tank construction is top notch. I'm very happy with my tank.

I just picked up an Oceanic Ultimate 156 with starfire front. Let me tell you its a beauty. I know they make much bigger in this style check it out.

Marineland deep are GORGEOUS, no question. but the width might not work for me. the 200 gallon is 48x36!!! I need the standard dimensions of 72x24

Are their Ultimate's Reef Ready? I know their Tech series has an overflow box, but I don't think they make larger than a 120.

Starphire would definitely be awesome

I bought my 210 from Concept Tanks last November. It's starfire on three sides, 84 x24 x24. They'll make anything you want and drill it too. Their price and service were great.
