I am shopping around for a new glass tank. The new tank will be 240 gal (96 x 24 x 25). I was going to do a rimless, but now im thinking about an inwall project.

Should i go with:
1. Solid tank (glass reinforced and no holes inside the tank)
2. Rimless and move it out into the room with a Center overflow or two
3. Eurobraced design in the corner of the room

Here is what im looking for:
Glass Tank
Between .500-.750" Thick glass
96 long 24 wide 25 high
3 cross braces
External overflow box that is centered in the tank (I use a Wavebox)
The EOF will have (4) 1.5-2.0" holes for draining and 60" of Linear overflow

Potential Tanks:
1. Glass Cages
2. Coast to Coast Custom Aquarium
3. AGE
4. Miracles

I would go rimless, but would not do center overflow. Not enough space in 24" for that. I had a 72x30x30 and it had center overflow and it was kinda tight on the sides of the box. Also takes away from the look i think. Cubes are beter situated for center overflows.

Potential Tanks:
1. Glass Cages - I have had 3 of their tanks and getting ready to order another from them (24x24x20 starphire cube) and I have gotten great service from them and great prices. For the price the quality is excelent. Definately not Miracles quality, but also for the budget minded ;-) NO major problems with quality. Just my opinion.

2. Coast to Coast Custom Aquarium -

3. AGE - Never used but have seen Nice tanks from them $$$$

4. Miracles - Never used but have seen Nice tanks from them $$$$
