New tank, what brand?

[Reefer Brent]

I would see if one of your LFS sells the planet aquarium Tideline Crystaline series. They have solid aquariums and can be upgraded to trigger sump as they are in the same place. Great price and the ones I have seen are great quality. They have a 60in long model that you can get in different widths and you can pick the cabinet color. The only problem is patience once you order. I think they can take a bit to ship depending on what you get.

there actually is one not too far that seems to carry them, i’ll go over and take a look. Thanks!

Multiple large tangs in a ~75g is asking for it. I had a squaretail and mimic tang in a 75g for a while and started to see more frequent signs of aggression as they matured. They may be fine, it often comes down the individual fish but ideally you'd want a bigger tank.

The difference between a 75g and 100g is huge. I just upgraded from a RSR 350 to 425- it's only 10cm deeper but I've gone from rock scape basically against the back wall to the middle of the tank and effectively doubled the grazing ground.

I can't comment on the other tanks you mentioned but I've been very happy with all four of my Red Sea tanks. The latest 425 G2+ purchase has been as good as the rest.

I have a CDA tank, and I LOVE the build quality! Couldn't be happier!

Planet aqurium or Im. Love my planet tho.

If I could afford it, I’d have bought Planet. I used Crystal Dynamics. Glass cages has always gotten good reviews from what I’ve seen.

Almost anything BUT Red Sea. Hate to say it, but there are so many horror stories about seams failing with catastrophic loss.

I have a CADE. I absolutely love the tank. 164 g, 12 gallon a to.

Cade. Not CDA.

I have a CDA tank (the one I reference above). Not Cade. But I'm sure Cade tanks are nice too.

Here's my tank.

I just ordered from Glass Cages. I am surprised no one has mentioned them. There is an online calculator on their site to get a spot on quote. https://glasscages.com/

Just saw the Glass Cage facility

Joe took me on a video tour of their 40,000 sq. ft. facility, and I was thoroughly impressed by the Glass Cages operation. They have dedicated areas for each phase of their streamlined manufacturing process, with tanks in various stages of completion. The hickory cabinetry was particularly...
