Awesome. That is exactly what I wanted to hear. Should be ready to upgrade soon, thanks for your help.

I'd love to have a 120!

That’s a good deal at 1900 sale price . I purchased a aqueon reef ready for 675 without a stand. stand and canopy runs 700 to 1000 for nice cabinetry and no sump . The reef ready aqueon has those two large overflows and predrilled at bottom of tanks. Wish I could have been more selective but price really mattered . So I built my own stand and canopy . Maybe saved another 200 . I’d say get it now before they bump price up to 2500. That is if it really is on sale right now as the website states .

You can get a Planet Aquarium in any size you want. I paid $1,200 for a 180 gallon tank drilled with a Synergy overflow. That's $200.00 alone for the overflow.

Also curious on their customer support/quality. Finally I found the CAD lights versa 92 gallon, which for the price, has alot of offer. So I ask, what are some decent priced, quality tanks that are 4 feet and approx 90-120 gallons? Any thoughts or feedback would be appreciated so I can make an informed decision. Thanks

I could be wrong, but a standard 120 is about 4 feet long x 2 feet high and 2 feet wide. DO NOT order from fishtanksdirect unless you have absolutely no option for an LFS as they are horribly overpriced.

This is my tank:

I paid $238 for it brand new via my LFS. To be fair my LFS basically sells the tank at cost plus a discount, but even at other LFS I have seen the same tank for about $370-$400. Just trying to point out how much you are being gouged by ordering from fishtanksdirect.

Ok Im between the SC PNP and the Waterbox. Both include almost everything but lights (waterbox requires return). Looking to make a decision in the next week or two.

So I may be in the minority but FTD was competitive in pricing on my Acrylic tank (15yrs ago). The manuf I wanted didnt sell direct and FTD was the best price from a reseller.

I love my 48x24x24 120g.

Finally pulled the trigger. My LFS got me an awesome deal on a waterbox 100.3. While it wont be 4 feet, I did a lot of thinking and think a 4 x 2 x 2 will be more than I can manage. I will start another thread when it goes up. Thanks for everyone for their suggestions! I will pick it up tomorrow, plan on flipping my current tank into that one this weekend. Need to think about cool minamilist rockwork design...
