Help Me Choose a Tank

I'm in between tanks right now and I can't really decide what is best. Here is the list of tanks I'm considering:
  • Finnex 30
  • Cadlights 22
  • BioCube 29
  • Mr. Aqua 33.6
  • Marineland(Perfecto) 45

Right now I have a TEK 24" T5HO light already w/ Wavepoint bulbs on the way. I just got out of a NC28 and have everything crammed into a 10G, soon to be 20H till my next tank cycles. Till then I need to choose a tank, please help

I like the quality & build on the marineland cubes over the biocube. After my "incident" I just can't trust the BC29 or bent glass again.

Additionally, if you are ever considering running a sump, buy something reef ready off the bat.

Oh and as a back-up the Finnex 30, i'm not a big fan of the biocube quality either....

If I had to choose from that list, I would go with the 45 Marineland. I like those dimensions best for live rock placement.

From the list, I'd pick the 45g Marineland. The bigger the better.
