I finally got the funds to order my tank and just wanting to get a few opinions:

500 Gallon (96" x48" x24") - Front Panel Ultra Clear and Glass Tops .5 glass $2132 ($1956 non-clear front panel)

375 Gallon (96" x36" x24") - Front and both side Panels Ultra Clear and Glass Tops .5 glass $1964

300 Gallon (96" x24" x30") - Front and both side Panels Ultra Clear and Glass Tops .5 glass $1655

These are the ones I've narrowed it down to and I'm really undecided. All will fit through a doorway on the 24" side so I'm good there. They all have pro' with the smaller having ultra clear glass or larger without....

Opinions?

Mostly depends on what/how much you are going to keep, I think most would vote for the biggest footprint, and I would be inclined to agree.

I would agree....I'm just torn between having that ultra clear panel or not.

For the size and price comparison of the three the 500 is the best. Not sure if the ultra clear is worth the extra money
 
This is not something you can easily swap out.. So go for it all the way. 500 with Ultra Clear.
 
Can I play the other side?

Aquarium cost upfront is just the start. Bigger aquarium you'll need bigger pumps, bigger filters, and you'll have a bigger electric and water bill. Could be hundreds of dollars more per year on utilities for the 500 vs the 300, every year for as long as you own it.
