Recommended Tank

Aloha,
I have the opportunity to buy a 30x30x36 high acrylic with no overflows or a 36x36x24 high starfire glass with overflow. Suggestions? It will be saltwater fish and corals. Light is an Orphel Atlantic v2. Filter was built by Lifereef for up to 150 gallon tank. 8 Tunze powerheads so plenty of flow. Any recommendations/reasons would be appreciated.

Mahalo

You take the one with the overflow

I like having the overflow already there. But couldn't I drill and install in the acrylic? Or too much trouble/risk?

No u can do that with no risk but but i like the glass more than the acrylic for some reasons,,
Acrylic scrach more and it will be haze with time

I'd get the Starfire with Overflows. The Acrylic will scratch, and overtime look pretty nasty, no matter how careful you are. Starfire on the other hand is pretty dog gone clear, and won't scratch like the scrylic.
