Tank recommendations?

I'd like to get a 10-20 Gal tank to upgrade from my 3 1/2 gal Top Fin. I have 1 Crown Tail Betta & I know 10-20 gals is probably overkill for 1 Betta but I'm set on getting him a big tank. I'd like a top of the line rimless one with low iron glass. Originally I was looking for acrylic as I read they were clearer but then read bad stuff about them & then I read about low iron glass. Plus I couldn't find an acrylic that had an open top. They all had small cut outs in the top. Not sure if I want a complete kit or to piece it together. I read on here about Red Sea tanks but all I saw was systems with stands (that I don't want) plus I'd like a tank that's clear on all 4 sides... Thank You! Bill

Why don’t you just get a 20 gallon long and build your own tank in terms of equipment? You can do some pretty cool stuff with that tank!

Thank You Bill & LeJeune! I ruled out Fluval cuz I wanted low iron glass. So I got an Aquamaxx 12 gal, low iron, seamless. I wanted their 22 gal but it was sold out...

Here's the piece of wood I bought... In front are the 4 pieces that broke off in shipping. I'll super glue them back on... Bill
