I bought a used 180-gallon tank. The tank is going to need to be resealed, and I just do not want to do it for a lot of reasons, mostly because I don't want to wake up to a flooded house. So I decided to buy a new tank, but what I seem to keep finding is only Red Sea, Waterbox, Marineland, and Aqueon. Are these really the only choices other than custom tanks between 150 and 200 gallons? Also, where is a good place to buy these tanks online?

Welcome to R2R!
I highly recommend the Red Sea Reefer tanks. I purchased mine from BRS. I'm sure there are some other brands of standard sized tanks, but marineland and aqueon are by far the most popular. I may be wrong, but generally speaking the marineland and aqueon tanks are hard to buy online due to shipping costs (red sea drop ships from the manufacturer and the shipping is included in the price).

My Gem Tang Is Watching You
Welcome to R2R!!! I have a 120 gal Aqueon tank, I did purchase if from a LFS and picked it up and it has been working good for me. Red Sea tanks are great, but you do pay a premium. If I get another tank, which I probably will, it will be a Red Sea tank as they do look good.
