Looking for a new tank. Something around the 100-120 gallon range!

Right now it is looking like ill go with the SC Aquariums 120 starphire fatboy. They also sell a 100 gallon that is the same dimensions but 4 inches shorter that i am looking at.

Any other manufactures out there that make a good 100-120 gallon rimless style tank? I am okay with eurobrace as well. Id love reef savvy but 6 months is too long of a wait and the tank is likely outside my budget.

The red sea reefer tanks are great, i have one already. I just am not a fan of the dimensions. I really like a tank with more width and less height (i have short arms, so the height poses an issue.)

Ideally it would be 48x30x20 or so but i cant swing the cost of a good custom so stock sizes will have to do

Thanks!

Just so you know, SCA also makes custom aquariums for a very reasonable price. They are building me a 60"x30"x24" right now.
 
Love my Planet Aquariums tank. It is a 90 gallon display and 30 sump. Not a 100 gallon but it is a great looking rimless tank. I did a build thread on it but not sure how to link it here.
 
Going with a mass production tank will give you the most bang for your buck. Generally with tanks, the bigger the better. Large tanks are more stable than small ones. Also a larger tank is not that much more work unless it gets a bit extreme.
