Bands of Aquariums

I'm in the market for a new 120 or 150 gallon aquarium. My local fish store mainly sell marineland and aqueon. Are these decent aquariums or should I invest in another bard of aquarium?

Either will be fine. I have owned both and never had one fail. I would suggest that you get one that isn't "reef-ready". You will save some $$$, and be able to then drill them for overflows that are actually useful.

I like reef ready and if I like Aqueon over marineland especially lately. The aqueon on the last 2 tanks have been built very well and not as nearly as rushed or sloppy looking as they have in the past.

Both/either are just fine.
