I had my mind and aquascaping set for a 190.5 waterbox and when I went to purchase I noticed how they seem to disappear, came to find out they replaced it with the 180.. Furious as I really want the wider depth. If anyone knows a retailer that may be looking to sell any the have in stock please let me know or if you have any other suggestions, The Red Sea xxl 625 is 25.5 wide but not sure about Red Sea Sump , also looked at some custom options but gets pricey for the extra width.
 
I personally would take the Innovative Marine over the Waterbox, if for only one reason: IM comes with a aluminum stand. No way i'm going to have a tank that weighs that much with the type of cabinets that Waterbox or Red Sea have. But that may just be me.
Here's a 200 gallon system that's available from IM.
 
Ive currently got an im100 and stand and while the alum is nice i think alot of people go overboard on stands

I started looking at larger tanks and the im200 is what spured it the problem is that stand has no compartments like the redsea and water box do and its also got no sump ( yeah i kinda want to be lazy this time)

Dont think you could go wrong with any of those 3 brands but i also think the im is a little on the expensive side especially since they dont have the 15% off currently

Here's a 135 gallon with sump and plumbing. I just got the 75G. Panels are attached to the aluminum cabinet by magnets. No compartments, but that works for me as i don't want to keep my controls and such in a wet area. I'm building a cabinet that will sit next to my system that will house all of my electronics.
 
I did the whole cabinet next to the tank with my 100 this time around i was it all in the same area ive been looking at thw waterbox 220 and redsea offerings
