The current 120gal has only been in the wall for a little more than one year. But when I framed the room I blocked-out two areas so that they could be removed easily for a larger tank and stand.
I picked up the old trunk in Victoria because I needed to store extra aquarium stuff somewhere and it looked like a treasure chest.

Denny at Concept just sent me these pictures to show the completed aquarium and in return I sent them my tax return. I also got Paul at Oceans Motions to custom make me this new housing for the 4-Way. It has all 1-1/2" ports so that I can run larger diameter plumbing in the new system. My current unit has only 1" outputs.

I used to have a 72W X 36D X 24H a number of years ago and loved the 36D ... can do so much with aquascaping and still have a nice spot out front for fish to swim unobstructed ... you will love it

An update finally. After waiting a several weeks and wondering what had happened I phoned up Fastfrate today and so did Denny from Concept. It turns out Fastfrate had transferred the shipment to Bandstra in Edmonton but when they did someone entered my phone number AND address wrong on the new shipping documents. So Bandstra had been phoning the wrong number trying to deliver the tank to a house that doesn't exist for over a week. We corrected those two points and they delivered the tank this afternoon.
It was crated really well and arrived without any damage. I was able to strip everything off and move the tank onto two furniture carts for a better look. The edges are clean cuts, dimensions are what we agreed upon, there are some air bubbles in the silicone but that seems to be normal and they don't look excessive. Overall I am very pleased with the tank and I'm really looking forward to getting it installed. Denny included a weir for the overflow which at first I didn't think much of but now that I see it in person I really like it. This weekend I'll begin work on the stand and closed loop plumbing.  Bottle of Corona for scale.
