Where to look for a new tank?

Well my girlfriend says an upgrade is okay, she just wants a ring first. Which is fair, we have been dating for five years, have a house, and a 10 month girl together hah.

So when I go that big, is bracing usually common? I think bracing is quite unattractive, also don't care for a canopy. Should I worry about finding a tank pre drilled, or consider having that done afterwards?

You don't have to have bracing. But in order to not, the walls of the tank must be thicker.
This drives up cost. If you have the tank made, for sure have the maker drill it as you want.

Other brands would be Planet Aquariums, Reef Savvy, Miracles, AGE, and a few others I'm likely forgetting. If you're planning this far out, contact them all for a quote and do your research.

I just did a quick search, but none of these names pulled up any tanks. I'll dig a little deeper later.

For Reef Savvy, its a completely custom tank, so you'd need to make a request for a quote:
