First off i am buying a Tank sized from 210 to 240 72 x 24 x 25 to 30 depending on brand all-glass ,oceanic, perfecto or Glasscages.com that is my first question what are the pros and cons of these tanks. Second it will be a fish and reef tank so i went to one store they told me to do overflows with the sump tank . the other one told me to use a Fluval FX5 External Filter . third thing is I am going to build the tank in to a wall and want to make it double sided so if i go with the overflows i can't use the all glass because they don't make the corner overflows anymore. perfecto has no website so i don't know what size tanks they make and if i go with the oceanic it will probley be a arm and 2 leg because it will be custom because they will put overflows on the sides. But Glasscages.com will put them on the side and the price will be about $895 The pet stores around here in connecticut want over $900 to $ 1000 for the tank with no overflows.Please help me with where I can get this size tank for a good deal will travel 3 or 4 hours and should i use overflows or canesters I just need the tank no stand or canopy
 
Wow.

My store sells the tanks from oceanic (our sponsor) for the normal cost. You want a overflow, add $150 extra and they will make it happend.

Also, what size tanks are you looking for? That would make it alot easyer.

Looking at your price range, your looking at a 200gal w/ overflow at my store.

not sure if you belong there, but you said you were form CT...



anyways, there are a few places around here that will costom build tanks. house of fins down in greenwhich builds costom tanks, but they are pretty darn pricey...
what is the shipping from glass cages? i think that is proably your best bet
and definatly go with overflows over a canaster....
what LFSs did you go to?
