I currently have a BioCube 14g and am loving this hobby. I am thinking about going bigger...something in the 40g-60g range, possibly a cube. Can someone recommend a good bang for the buck manufacturer to look into? I would like to find something already drilled, with an overflow, and plumming included if possible.

Thanks!

I am really looking for the most volume I can get with a 36" width without going to a cube. 36x34x20 would be pretty awesome.

I ended up going with a standard 65g 36x18x14. I went with a perfecto and really love the black silicone look.

Nice tank, I am also planning an upgrade and was looking at the Oceanic iluminata 57g (36X18x21), but yours seems pretty cool, award that the dimensions of the oceanic is bigger but less gallons, must be the overflow area?

The 36x18x14 was a typo. It is actually 36x18x24. I am real impressed with the perfecto/marineland. The silicon work looks good, I like the removable door for the overflow, and love the black silicon. Now I just need to find or build a stand. I still cant decide if I want to ante up the $170 or take the weekend to build my own.

I have a 2x150w coralife 36" fixture coming and have already built the sump out of a 20g.

Here is a pic with the sump and before I painted the back of the tank.
