I am gonna upgrade my SA tank. I currently have a 90g with a tons of filtration. Space is the largest issue, so I must stay at 48". Any suggestions on a 48"x24"x31" 150g tank?
 
is custom build an option or no?

I suggest you add 60 gallons more water to the 150, after you move everything from the 90g. :)

Seriously though, I am not sure what kind of suggestions you are looking for. If it is were to get a 48" 150, I got mine from PetCo. Not all of the stores carry them but usually one of them will or they can order it. If you are looking for other suggestions please provide more information on what you are after.
 
length and width are generally better than height.
 
I know you have geos in your stock so I would suggest something with a wider footprint. Be it 30" or 36", it will make a huge difference. The depth isn't going to make much of a difference though.

The footprint will increase to 4'x2' as opposed to 4'x 18". I only intend on keeping geo' (6 Tapajos, 1 Balzani, and 2 Surinamensis), 1 or 2 rotkiels, and BA tetras. The Taps generally only get 5", so they should be fine. If I could find a good home the single M Balzani I would. Has to be someone who is familiar with them though. Once the Taps pair up, I will keep one or two pair and pass off the remaining to a fellow geo head.
 
Marineland makes a 150 High (48x24x30) and a 200 Deep Dimensions (48x36x27). Aqueon makes a 120 (48x24.5x25.5).

Would love to find the 200g with those dimensions.
