Looking at a custom tank

I certainly like those tanks. Both of my local Saltwater LFS carry them and they are nice. Problem is that this is going to be a peninsula tank seperating rooms and so it has to have some very specific dimensions and features. Basically one short side is going to be buried in a wall and it will have to include an external overflow. My fishroom would be in the basement 1 floor below as well.

Thanks for the suggestion though as they are really nice tanks.

Haha...yeah I've seen yours but I'm just not that brave!! That's a mighty big tank of yours and it was the first one that came to mind when I read the other thread on here about the 50G tank blowing out.
I keep thinking that these tank builders must know something that I don't know which makes them the expert and hopefully improves my chances of keeping the tank going for a long long time and my floor dry for the same amount of time.

I can't comment on tank builders but congrats on taking the leap (house and tank). It's about time! I can't wait to see both evolve!

Thanks Kevin...we haven't quite put pen to paper on the deal yet, but we're close! Darn banks seem to think they should have a say in things these days...
