Help narrowing tank selection

[ReefWidowed]

So, it's looks like I may have narrowed the field down to 3 tanks to pick from....I really like the Top Fin (Perfecto) 46 gal column for it's height. 30" is nice, but does have its drawbacks. I also ran into a super good deal for an Oceanic 37 Gallon sorta-cube only 22" tall but at $90 can I let it sit on a shelf or become home to chiclids(creepy little fish) . I also saw a pretty good deal on Oceanic's 32gal Bio-cube....drawback there is I've heard it's pretty much a pain in the "you know" to make any customizations to the tank...the plus is that it has everything and is very clean looking. I'm still not ruling out a custom acrylic tank, but since I will porbably be moving in the next few years, I'd like to wait on that one I think, maybe make tanks built into the walls of the new house or something. If nothing else I might pick up the Oceanic and use it for a future project.

I only plan on having 2 horses some greenery and temprature appropriate coral, but would like to do it right the 1st time....I hate buying things twice.

THANKS!!!

for horses, what about an AquaPod??

They tend to run a little hot, and by design may be a pain to plumb a chiller into, but if someone out there is having luck keeping one around 70degrees, I'd love to hear about it, because the tanks themselves are very nice looking.

I have seen several AquaPods set up with horses and come to think of it, not one of them had a chiller on it. That is a bit strange. In fact my LFS had horses spawning in one.
