Yes at the Interzoo 2006 in Germany. (I was not there) :)

Fell free to give me a PM any time. Probably best to wait a few weeks until I get my skimmer and lighting and some water in the tank!

I agree with the 24 height but the 30 deep was WAY more important to me as I want the illusion of open water more than height.

That said, I could have gone 72x30x30 but then I would need more...
