Hey guys,

It's a custom tank made by Seastar Aquariums. It's bottom drilled on one side for three sided viewing. Two 1 1/2" drains, two 1" returns and I installed a tank-width single overflow myself. The tank has Euro bracing and black silicone, I would reccomend both these options. The bottom pane of glass is also double the thickness of the sides for extra strenght, we do put alot of wieght on the bottom pane.

I bought this tank from Darren (DJ88) on this message board. It was brand new but never used. He had the tank designed and I am greatful to him for the awesome tank. I belive he said the tank cost him around 500+$ new but email him for further specific details.

teevee brings a good deal to your attention but hieght is the least you should be concerend about. It's difficult to reach your hand down to the bottom of a 30" tank, for whatever purposes (coral arrangment, cleaning) But maybe you willl have a 4-6" DSB, lol, it's really up to you. I'm also not sure about how much shipping would be all the way up there for a tank, you might be better off getting something closer to home.

I love my tank but If I had to add more something, it wouldn't be hieght, it would be lenght. A 5' shallow 120 gal would a nice SPS tank. Let me know what you think and message back.

Hope the post wasn't too long...

later..
