Hey everyone. I started with a 33 gal hex pure softies, moved up to a 28 gal nanocube mixed reef, and recently upgraded my father's 65 gal and my 28nc to a 120 gal with a 33 gal sump and a 20 gal gravity fed refugium. Our setup is at my father's house since my landlord doesn't allow fishtanks.

Equipment-
mp40w
Reef octo extreme 260 skimmer
RKE
Tek 8x54w
Next Reef SMR1 XL bio pellet reactor
TLF phosphate reactor


Here's our predicament. My parents were supposed to move, but the economy screwed them over and now they aren't moving anymore. We already sold the 120 to someone who scheduled to pick it up next week. I pushed him back an entire month, and I feel horrible issuing him a refund. We are deciding on a few different tanks and we really cannot decide. We want to keep it 48" so I dont have to look for new lights.

1.Oceanic tech 120, it has dual corner overflows, no center brace ~1400 with stand
Glasscages -
2. 48"Lx30"Wx24"H dual corner overflows, center brace. ~$1400 with stand tank and canopy
3. 48"Lx30"wx24"h single overflow on back wall eurobrace (for some reason they do not build tanks with corner overflows without a center brace) ~$1400 stand tank and canopy
4. 48"x24"x24" dual corner overflows, center brace ~$1200 stand tank canopy
5. 48"x24"x24" single overflow back wall, eurobrace ~$1200 stand tank canopy

what do you guys recommend?

here are some pics of the hex, nc, and 120. i sold all my coral and picassos as a package deal when i got rid of the nc :(

Bummer about the tank man.

If you have long arms like me, I would go with the extra gallonage and get the 48x30x24.

I would also get the dual corner overflows.
