Looking for a nice 30g tall(er) tank

I've decided my next tank setup is going to be dedicated for a couple of angels (if anyone else saw my thread in the angelfish section, heh)...right now I'm trying to decide what brand/style of tank to go for, and wondered what you all would recommend.

I'm looking for a tank that is a bit taller than usual, since angels like height, but I don't necessarily need a "tower" tank - in fact, I don't really want one since I'm going to have some BN plecos with them and I want to give them some floor space But something around 30" seems resonable.

The only aquariums I've found online from stores in my area (Petsmart, Petco - big stores tend to be cheaper than my LFS) are the SeaClear brand, and I was wondering if SeaClear is any good? The 10g I have right now is from my LFS and was a bit pricy + I have no idea what brand it was, since they were just standing out, not packaged in anything It's a nice tank, but I don't think they have any in bigger sizes anyways. I think Petsmart has other brands on sale but for some reason are not pictured online...

So what brands for aquariums would you recommend? Is acryllic better than glass? I hear it's considerably lighter but I don't want that to be the only judge there...like I said, I'm looking for something around 30", and around 30 gallons (29 or 34 or something would be good too)

Thanks!

i like acrylic tanks more than glass.. and i love bowfronts. our 29g is a tall glass rectangle but it was free so we're not complaining. but if we were to buy a new one, definitely an acrylic bowfront is what we'd be looking at.
