I think the same guys who carry Hagen might carry this tank. It also appears that the lighting setup for it is just like that for the hagen GLO tanks

It's in our local store setup with fish and coral. They use a GLO fixture above the tank as it appears to be made for that.

Although it has a lot of neat features, there are some real problems in my eyes with this tank.

First, the "waterfall" back into the tank from the sump should not be over black plastic...the local store sometimes has to clean it every day or brown crud covers it.

The sump is very well done, but the two overflows on each side are an eyesore, especially when you insert the sponges or media bags that they suggest you do. Imagine looking at two topless aquaclears all the time.

If they knocked off the waterfall and just put a regular overflow in, this would be the bomb as far as Clam tanks go...just the right dimensions.

That's my 2 cents but you may find it's the perfect tank for you.
