Am I going nuts?

Hi all, I've been looking for a new tank for a while now. What I am looking for is something in the range of 75g to 125g, predrilled for sump, with a traditional rim. And, all that I have been able to find is undrilled tanks with a traditional rim, high priced rimless reef-ready tanks, or extremely high priced reef-ready tanks with canopy and stand. I feel like I've been bashing my head against the wall shopping around. Like, the only predrilled tanks out there are all top dollar starfire glass or acrylic now? That can't be right. I must be looking in the wrong spots, right?

If you want just an old school reliable tank without the bells and whistles look into Visio tanks there pretty reliable and if you have a LFS they can usually order it drilled how you want. I think they only go through retailers though.

Aqueon and marineland make what you want. Most lfs can get them. I know Petco can get both as well. Hope this helps.

I have been looking for Aqueon and havent seen them anywhere except a certain website with dubious pricing (which I wont name because I remember what happened when people spoke ill of another scam company in the early 00's) and when I checked Aqueons own website all of their plumbed tanks say "no sellers found". So I assumed they have been discontinued. I hadn't been looking for marineland tanks but I also have not seen any of them in stores. I guess maybe I should get over my aversion to asking for help and actually talk to the employees.

I hadn't heard of that brand, thank you.

Thank you both for the speedy and helpful replies.
