Just trying to get some opinions for different tank manufactures regarding rimless or eurobrace tanks. I like rimless but would feel safer with a eurobrace if I went larger than 200g! Can anyone give me a good price estimate of tanks ranging in this size 200-300 gallons?

Marineland 300 dd is great price and available but I want that wow factor unless it's absolutely way out my budget. If marineland did not have those 2 standard corner overflow box's Id be much more likely to go with them.

glasscage rimless 190 gallon (front starphire) is $926 b4 shipping! Never trusted them for there bad customer reviews but they make tanks I am sure it's not rocket science when you makes 100s per week. Maybe they have improved or still have a bad record!

Miracles from canada seems great but how much does shipping cost to NJ?
Shippings a big issue for me because most tank manufactures are on the west coast. Could easily get to $1000 when you factor in having to unload it too.



below custom marineland (don't think they do custom anymore). Has anyone else gotten a custom tank from marineland? how much more is it then the standard?

I live in Columbus Ohio, miracles quoted me 375$ or so to ship to me. If your in NJ, check out coast to coast aquariums, they are in NJ. There are a few other options too. I got some good quotes from a few people.

I have been looking into a tank upgrade and one of my options through my LFS has been a eurobraced 225 ( 72x30x24), 5/8" thick glass with a center over flow for $1600.

Acrylic for the same size was but 3/4" thick was $2000

Acyrlic 3/4" thick 300 gal ( 96x30x24) $3000...which is my fav

good to know, thanks.
I just checked out miracle price list...Have to say, I am quiet suprised:lmao:
Price's where very good - 120 gallon with starphire 3 sides is around $700. Granted you will have to have it shipped but you get the idea. There custom section is little expensive for me but still good price as it's "limitless" on custom options.
