I did look at Sanitred, and my first inclination was to use the Rubbermaid tanks. with Sanitred the issues was that for all of the steps and prep work that had to be done I could have just gone with Fiberglassing the frames. I still have them on my list of alternatives along with a few others that I will try if the first coatings don't work.
The problem with stock tanks in general are that they only come in dark colors, and odd/round shapes. The dark colors will not work as they will suck up too much heat in the summer and reduce the upwelling light that many corals love. I may use the stock tanks in the winter to collect heat in my makeup water to help with heating, but not for the coral tanks. Another is that i would lose about 33% of my growout space if I went with round tanks instead of square.
