Upgrading Tank - Recommendations Wanted

[grouper]

I currently have a 100G tank that I have had for about 6 years. I have it in the wall in my basement. Starting to do some research on upgrading to something like a 135 or 150, which will go into the wall as well. Any recommendation on the type of tank( i.e. maker) and overflow. The tank I have now is pretty deep. I'm looking for is a tank that is not so deep. Would you do glass or acyclic?

Thanks.

On a tank that size wold probably be glass. Starfire is the best for sure but a bit pricey. You may want to see what other equipment you need etc and set a budget. I personally prefer acrylic but mist people scratch those things up. It has never been an issue for me.

"Starfire", is that the name brand or the material?

How much and how old?

a 5x2x2 150 such as GMO will be selling would be a great choice. Excellent dimensions with a ton of choices for livestock.

Starfire or low-iron glass is glass that is basically CLEAR, not tinted green like most glass you see. I don't think Fish Scales uses "starfire" brand, but they have a comparable/identical low-iron brand which is gorgeous.

If the rest of your system can support a 150, go for it!

Starphire is low iron glass (no green tint). It's a brand, but it's like kleenex, it's the one you want to use
