Here's a picture of the 72gal bowfront. I got this one set up not that long ago. No fish yet just some corals. The white spots on the glass are stomatella. I will post more pics of this and some of the 28gal tank in the next couple of days, the lights went out tonight so I couldn't get any more.

Thanks for the dimensions and the reminder of how the tank used to look Beverly(I've got my work cut out for me, I forgot just how good it looked.

)

The fixture over the tank is a coralife but it's a 48" LunarLight 4-65W PC. I sure like it and I have enough MH's running in my basement.

Nice pics! Do you know if those tanks use tempered gals bottoms or backs. I really like it but if I were to get one I'd want to have it drilled.

Danny,

It's an Oceanic tank and stand. You can buy them drilled with an overflow. Bought mine at Super Pet, which is affiliated with PJ's. Don't know who else carries Oceanic tanks, but they're pretty common.

i think you need some more rock in there, it looks kinda barren.

I agree. More rock, more coral and fish.

Yes they do (and they put a sticker on it that says "Tempered - do not drill". At least they did on my old 72g. You can get them prebuilt with overflow.

You can actually get them from IA. I almost bought one from them to replace mine, when it sprung a leak. They had the best price in the city.

They are still a lot of money, next to comparable volume square tanks.

This one has the sticker warning of tempered glass. I think, and I could be wrong, All Glass and Oceanic come standard with tempered bottoms, unless it is reef ready.
