I am looking to upgrade to a new tank very soon. I am looking for 150 to 180 gallon glass pre-drilled tank. What companys would you guys recommend. I know Oceanic is good, but I was wondering if there is anyone else people would recommend. Thanks.

some people also use glasscages.com.

Oceanic is pretty good but they have change owners over the past years so this is really just a higher end All-Glass Aquarium tank.

I have an Oceanic 225 that's been with me for about 20 years, and a new(er) AGA reef-ready 180 that works quite well, too.

Check out their warranty requirements (do you have to use one of their stands, duration, etc.) and builds (location of overflows, frame/strapping and such) to find one that meets your requirements threshold.

Cheers,
Ray

After seeing some of the glasscages tanks in person, I was less then impressed.

They look almost homemade. If you plane on hiding the top and bottom of the tank with a Stand and Canopy that will cover them, it may not be too bad.

I really like the look of the Oceanic Tech tanks, but either All Glass or regular Oceanic have both been pretty nice tanks in my experience.

I love my Miracles in Glass tank....

Craftsmanship is fantastic; seams are great; and it's THICK.

The only killer might be shipping from Ontario to NC.
