i'd get aquarium insurance nonetheless...that is of course if your current insurance doesn't include large aquariums.

Don't forget to add the sump. It doesn't look like the formula accounts for that.

I just aksed with my insurance company it was covered. Although policies differ between insurance providers its best you call them yourself. I ended up bumping my plan to a more comprehensive level, for the extra $75 a year its well worth it... you never know..
