Black.

But why not just order a new tank? I used to be just like you, always looking at used tank and I was never happy with them because eventually I found the smallest scratch.

Think of it this way, by the time your reef is stocked you have $6,000+ into a 125 gallon tank, why cheap out on the tank? Especially when your ghetto rigging it with a new front pane of glass.

Ive heard prices went way up but Concept builds some really nice tanks.

^^^ +1 on all accounts.

In addition you never REALLY know what a used tank has been through in its life, the silicone could contain copper from medication or it could be on the verge of tank death.

Concept provides a year warranty on their tanks, they are also relatively inexpensive & have some of the best work in the industry.

More like once you go Concept you will never go back .


and ya... Black all the way but I'm bias.

I like black, but clear is more forgiving.

I've had both black and clear and I prefer the black look also.
