Looking for 200-300 Gallon Reef Tank

[sscheitel]

What are the best manufactuers? Arcylic or Glass?

Going to be doing BB

Just in the planning stages and want to get some feedback from the fine folks here at TRT.

Thanks

Id go acrylic on a tank that size. And would also recommend setting it up with either external overflow boxes or ideally even a coast to coast external overflow box if you have the luxury of having a tank built for you. The coast to coast is a nice added benefit, but the important thing is that you have external overflow boxes. Nothing to get in the way of your reef or to disturb flow patterns.

Im not sure who makes tanks in your area. I would try to find someone good locally as shipping a tank that size will add roughly $500 to a tank that is going to cost $2000-3000 to have built in the first place.

If you want to go glass I like my aquavim curved glass tank. Dollar for dollar they are really good tanks, much less expensive than tenecors or some others that make high end tanks and cabinetry. Heres a link: www.4fishtank.com. I have the 118g semi-circle and another guy in the local reef club just bought their 170g library set, which looks amazing.
