Forced to upgrade- opinions needed!

Hi everyone!

 

It’s been waaay too long but I’m back and in need of advice. My tank of.. gosh- 13 years(?) is in need of an upgrade. There is a slight gap between the bottom face of the glass and the wood cabinet beneath. The gap is growing and panic is setting in. I need to replace my system quickly.
 

I’ve been researching what to upgrade to but seems impossible to find. I’m looking for a shallow lagoon. 25-40 gallons. I found the set up of my dreams but the tank as a nick in the glass on the right side. The tank is discontinued and sits atop a red sea cabinet with a sump below. (Photos attached) I’ve been looking at the innovative marine AIO 25 and SR 60 but are those the only shallow lagoon tanks? 

 

I have two options- rebuild this set up myself (I can’t find a tank in these dimensions- custom?) or find something that already comes packaged like this. 
 

Any leads would be much appreciated!! I’m in New York, USA if that matters.

Fiji cube also makes nice aio tanks. They have a 32gallon that measures pretty much 24”x20”x15”. A few inches deeper but really nice dimensions imo. So thats another option. 
 

How bad is the damage to the used tank? I personally try to buy new if I can afford it, but I would buy used with no damage. Its just a “peace of mind” thing because one of my worst nightmares is a blown out tank full of livestock. 
 

That said- Innovative marine has some of the nicest aio lagoon tanks. They are great quality and beautiful. If you can go up even bigger I believe they have a 50gal lagoon too thats lovely.
