Best Larger Tank Choices!

thanks all! after doing some further research I'm starting to like the Waterbox tanks.

My concern with a lot of these all in one Red Sea/ Waterbox tanks in the 75-90gallon range is the length of the tanks and wanting to keep tangs. Most of them are only 36 inches across. This seems like a challenge with the length of swimming space for the tangs. I don't intend on going larger that 90 gallons, so it seems like a 48in tank wont be possible.
The Red Sea 350 73g and 47" wide, the XL425 is 88g and 47" wide. These are DT sizes not including sump gallons but either of these can support smaller tangs like a bristletooth. I love my XL 300 but at 36" it is not sufficient for a tang.
 
For tangs, the longer the better and pretty near 4’ minimum for small tangs. Most tangs need 6’ or 8’ or 10’ or even 12’.

Getting out of dreamland, some decent tanks are the 120 gallon with a 48X24X24 or, I think 125 with 60X28X24 or the 180 with 72X24X24.
