Yep, I had a 75g starphire 3 sides, frameless with external overflow built for the same price as a standard "reef ready" 75g tank at the local stores. My dimension were a bit different though as I went with a 3' x 2' foot print instead of the standard 48" x 18". It also pays to check around as I had other quotes that were much higher.
