My tank is a custom from Seastar that I bought through OA. The dimensions are listed in my sig but the "custom" part is an external overflow "Herbie" style overflow with dual 1.5" bottom drains.
Seastars aren't the prettiest tanks around since they use rather thick plastic black trim all around, but my tank is literally "built like a tank" with generous use of black silicone. One possible downside is that they put in a beefy glass center brace on top which would cut down on a lot of light if you used 3 MH over the tank. I just went with 2 pendants + supplemental light and no one's the wiser.
I suppose a rimless euro-braced starphire tank with ground and bevelled edges would look nicer, but that would certainly add to the cost by quite a bit.
