You could maybe stack a couple of base cabinets?

im definately as curious as Grizz about the overflow on this one. I have a 96Lx24Hx22W and chose a full 8 foot coast to coast overflow to maximize surface skimming. I am happy with my setup, although it does take up some room internally, so I too am curious to see if a much smaller overflow design will keep up with removing nutrients from such a big tank. please post some pics your feedback when you get it running. other than that, nice tank! After a year of running my 8 footer I am already wanting a 10.

$7600.00?

Holy Moley, what about buying some Ikea cabinets and modifying them?
I just bought some pantry cabinets from Ikea, about $500 each that are 15 X 24 X 87.
Cut them to size, re-drill for the dowels and maybe do up some plywood doors with some nice edging. It certainly would be cheaper!

Also..I like the small overflow. Keep the nutrients in the tank where the corals can use them but make sure to lower your bio load.

ya I know Mitch I was surprised too with the price. oh well bette rto find the right price and what I want since this is the last thing I ever buy for a tank.. since I will stay in this house...

Maybe do you have any contacts with the local high school or a woodworking club?

I also have a small side overflow box on my 230g reef tank, never noticed any issues with it. My only problem (annoyance) with it was every once in awhile I would discover one of my small goby/blenny/wrasse would find it's way into it.
