Ive got pretty much everything I need planned out except the tank. Are there any brands that have a 75g glass rimless tanks or will I have to get one custom made? I have only found acrylic but Im not a fan of how easily they scratch.

A little too quick to judge based on a simple question. I skipped freshwater and started with a 20 gallon high lps and softie tank, moved to hawaii, bought a 55 gallon out there, made it a fowlr as coral is hard to get out there, moved back to california where my 20 is and am going to upgrade that to the 75 because it is starting to bow. Ive been at this a little over 2 years which definitely isnt long but Im not a beginner. I also (knock on wood), havent lost a single fish in my time doing this and the only coral losses Ive had was a xenia from my sister hiring a bad aquarium maintenance man, and then a torch from same sister forgetting about my 20 gallon while I was gone. So I think Ive done pretty well in the hobby. Chose a 75 gallon because now Im looking to try my hand at more advanced fish to keep and its what fits nicely in my living room. Ive only owned rimmed tanks and to be honest Im not a fan of the brace over center of my 55 during maintenance. Not necessarily a big complaint nor a deal breaker but I also think its visually more appealing rimless.This is a tough question.. I mean you can get some rimless 75's that are not drilled and then some that are center drilled, still looking at a price.. The hardest part of this hobby is figuring stuff out. This makes me question if you have had a tank before. It makes me wonder why you chose 75. I used to think that having a big tank was a benefit.. more water, less commitment to being there cause of having more water. After doing this for so long I personally feel that people should start smaller. Yeah it is a tough road, but you learn and to be honest if you can do a smaller tank and keep the parameters then chances are when you upgrade to a larger tank it will be that much easier. I feel like working with a smaller tank might be tough but you learn so much and IF you do it well then transferring your current tank to a larger one is that much easier. Also, with a smaller tank you might not use as much funding and if you fail or Real Life (RL) gets in the way, the losses aren't as bad.
A friend of mine once started with a 20gallon long and I thought for sure that it was going to be **** storm. Not drilled, needed overflow and all that, but in the end the tank was amazing.. Its tough to tell you what to do, but I certainly would not get a custom made one until you have a few years under your belt. That is for sure.. Read, learn, see, ask, understand peoples mistakes and then come to a decision. There are couple 75 gallon rimless, but to be honest.. I prefer a tank that has a rim, around 1.5 inches. In the past I have had rimless and ended up putting black electrical tape around the tank. Reason: unless your floor is 100% level seeing that uneven water level every day can really drive you to drink. Maybe it's just me.. Having that rim hides that. Just a thought..
I looked into AIOs and reef ready systems but "the sergeant" lol, wanted a stand that matched the rest of our furniture so she ended up choosing a top fin 55/75 gallon stand.Waterbox 100.3 is a rimless glass 75gal DT with 25gal sump.
You now have your marching orders!I looked into AIOs and reef ready systems but "the sergeant" lol, wanted a stand that matched the rest of our furniture so she ended up choosing a top fin 55/75 gallon stand.
