    I'm going to be moving from Des Moines to the Iowa City area soon and am dreading moving my 125g reef.  Since the basement is currently being finished I decided it makes sense to build an aquarium in wall.  As much as I really want to take this opportunity to jump into a larger tank, I think my fiance would probably kill me if I then needed to upgrade a bunch of equipment as well.  So I'm looking for a 125-150g reef ready tank (acrylic prefered) to put in the wall.   The wall we are planning on building into is a 6 foot wall so I'm limited to a 60 inch long tank as well.  I don't need any additional equipment, stand, or canopy. 
    Let me know what you have!
    Thanks!

    After talking with the builder I found out that I have a bit I have more room than I originally thought so I'm now looking at 180 gallons (72x24x24).  If I can't find a used acrylic that I like, I'll be ordering something from fishtanksdirect.com - yay to free shipping.  I haven't done a whole lot of research with brands of aquariums before but have always heard good things about Tenecor.  Here are the brands I'm currently looking at with their associated prices:
    SeaClear by Casco:   $1069.80
    Tsunami:  $1165.99
    Tenecor:  $1331.00
    They are all acrylics with the same dimensions and corner overflows.  I'm tempted to go with Tenecor based on name alone... The difference is only $261 - a relatively minor amount for this hobby.
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks!
