I'm not. The point was to set up a new tank at the new place.

Acrylic is very easy to glue together! Possibly getting a local plastic dealer to pre cut pieces and glue together yourself will be Cheeper and may be less shipping! Just an idea
I can get this setup for $2300 shipped, but I did request a custom quote with starfire front glass, black back and dual corner overflows.
With the stand?
Yes, but I don't want the canopy
BTW, this was the guy on ebay i was telling you about...here's the tank I am considering.....as soon as I hit the lottery..

You can't really tell how big it is until you see the two kids sitting in it and you could pry for 5 more...
Acrylic tends to retain heat as well so since most reef tanks tend to run hot due to lights and tons of equipment...... You may want to factor in the cost of a chiller. Pros though acrylic is easily buffed if it's scratched on the outside, it's clearer, it's stronger, it's cheaper, heat retention could be a pro or con for you just depends how much stuff you cram in it generating heat, and it looks as good as any glass tank in my opinion. Cons it scratches easier, it's heavier, and the euro bracing would be a con to you it sounds. I personally would go acrylic over glass. I have both and my acrylic has less scratches than my glass. Probably because I'm more cautious with it but either way I feel more confident in my acrylic tank than my glass with people around.
