4th gen tank

I read around on these board, that the 4th gen tank is good as it is a direct fit and it is lighter (plastic?) and I believe is still a good 15.5-16 gallon tank.

Should look into that.

i've heard that it doesn't fit in a 3rd gen. if it does somebody give me some affirmation on it. i already have a 4th gen tank and pump. that would save me about $250 if i could use the 4th gen one
