    I'm pretty sure I'm going to go with this tank 150 T Reef Ready (60x24x24) which is already drilled and basically ready.

    My question is for everyone, is this a good tank (manufacturer) and adequate overflow etc for this tank. I will need a sump as well - any recommendations?

    I am switching everything from my 100g and upgrading to this. My tank now is a seaclear system 2 with the wet/dry etc all built into the back of the tank which is a pain in the a** to work on etc. So I am pretty excited to have all of my equipment down low and out of sight.

    My dad is going to build the stand and canopy for me, and I already have the lighting setup. So anything I should be aware of that I am not listing?

    Thanks everyone for your help

    Tru Vu is a nice, reputable company, but IMHO way overpriced.
    I would check out glasscages.com. You could get a nice custom tank with overflows and starphire panels for close to half that price.

    I think I read everything in the link provided. I'm puzzled. Is this tank glass or acrylic? Does it state which?

    Like PackLeader said, the price is kinda up there. You could do much better if you looked around more.

    Good luck. :)

    I did check out glasscages and they want 837 for the exact same tank with starfire sides and that does not include shipping, with shipping it will put me well over the truvu price of 899 shipped.
