Tank Sourcing Advice

Steelheader09 · Mar 7, 2021

So, thinking about doing a new build. Probably 75+gal range. However, we are struggling on trying to decide how we want to proceed. I have looked at Redsea tanks, Waterbox, IM, and also at just drilling a tank. I like how the IM tanks look, I just don't like how you have to buy their stand. What do you recommend? Where do you buy tanks that don't require you buy their stand?

I looked there, but everything is out of stock. I didn't know if there were any better options for finding stuff in stock

What is your price range for a 75? That would prolly help us.

If it was my 75 and i did it all over again, i like this one, it is the same width as mine, but the length is 12" shorter, but the tank is 6" deeper/taller. I have an auqeon.
https://www.customaquariums.com/75-gallon-aquarium-wide.html, A 40 breeder diy for a sump is what i did as well and works great. Priced well too at $489

I almost did but I went with another company because I was looking for a steel stand.
There are a ton of SCA 150 build threads on here though. I have not heard anything bad.
