Getting rid of my 300 gallon 8' x 2'...want to use the same stand, sump, pump, most of the plumbing for a 120 gallon (ish) build. Would need a 4' x 2' footprint between 20" and 24" tall. I am having a harder time than I thought I would for such a standard size. Need an internal overflow, tank will be flush against the wall.

Would prefer rimless but not completely opposed to a rimmed tank. Although the rimmed tanks seem way more expensive these days than I would have thought. Marineland cornerflow is out of the question (overflow on the wrong side). Aqueon is a possibility i guess, but really would prefer only one iverflow...the two it comes with seems like overkill and takes up so much tank space. Plus they seem to be nearly $1000.

-As for rimless, a waterbox reef 130.4 would work, but looks like they don't sell tank only. Same with redsea and the other aio brands it seems.

-Innovative marine does not seem to have the right dimensions.

-SCA 120 is very appealing because of price and availability but i can't stand the eurobracing, mostly bc I am going to run my return over the right/back corner.

-Planet aquariums is about $1500 and I really like it with the rimless top and rimmed bottom. Unsure what shipping/freight would be, and nearest dealer is 100 miles away (assuming I'd still have to pay freight?)
-Glass cages quoted me about $1500 which includes over $500 in freight. I think it was for a rimmed bottom and eurobraced top which again, not a fan of.

What other options do I have? Any no frills rimless 120 tanks I have not stumbled across?

If you are still in the market for this tank, we can build one for you with dimensions of 48x24x20 out of 1/2 inch acrylic with a base price off approx. $650 plus shipping. You can save an additional $100 for a base price of $550 if you choose to go with 3/8 inch walls and keep the 1/2 inch top. 3/8 is perfectly acceptable for a small tank like this one. Overflows, lids, color backs/bottoms at additional charge. Lead time approximately one week although this changes daily.

I prefer glass by a large margin, thanks though!
