Im starting a new reef tank.....Should I go with the 65 for 420 bucks or a acrylic 50wide for 150 both ready to go for reef. The thing is I have to have a 36x18 base. The place its going is 40 inches wide......so a 36 fits nicely. :)

I would try to stay away from acrylic for a main tank basically take a credit card and try to scrape off coraline Algae off the glass cuz other wise it will scrach and anything really will scrach the tank. See if you can get a nice rimless glass tank they look fin hot IMO
