Because all custom build tanks look like a support with a tank on top, I am mainly looking for a nice piece of furniture to place a tank on top and therefor I am edging towards Juwel for the main part
Juwel Vision 450 looks like a pretty nice and solid choice for something like that. And since the budget I am getting for this project is not infinite it might be the best choice. Further study though are needed since I am not a fan of the filtration system included with all Juwel aquariums. Especially not when keeping larger Cichlids

Bioflow XL vs Biobox 3… lets face it, they are both not very good at their jobs…
