Upgrading to 120 gallon tank , INFO please

[reefstinger]

Ok, so my 110 gallon tank is too tall 48 x 18 x 30. with manual outside overflow up and running for 7 mths. I am going to purchase a 120 gallon 48x48x24 soon with built in overflow. what are your PROS and CONS for a double corner overflow tank or is this not necessary, should I just get the single built in overflow. my setup now is the 110 with a 20 gallon sump. a little advise would be welcomed. Also where is the most reasonable place to buy a new tank? and stand, :huh:

The only con that I can think of to double corner overflows (which is what my 180 has) is the space taken up by the overflow boxes.

I love my double overflow, Nothing can get trapped in the corners like excess fish food. Also I can put a bigger pump on there.

[hud3339]

Pros on double overflow I think if one gets clog you still have a backup so you won't have a tank overflowing on top =)
