72 Inches Width x 36 Inches Depth x26 Inches Height, manufactured with 3/4 low iron glass. Built by Glass Cages. External overflow with six 1.5 inch drains and two 1 inch returns on either side of the overflow. The bottom of the aquarium is starboard on top of the glass with additional glass bracing internally on the bottom rim, edges and a modified euro-bracing for the top of the aquarium. Everything filters down to a large MRC Sump holding an additional 125 gallons of water.

Wow, that is a nice tank! I look forward to seeing pictures when you get it plumbed and going.

6, 2” drains? That’s some flow.

how’s the quality? That’s almost the size I’m looking at except 84” length.

very nice.

very nice.

I honestly love the quality of the build. The options to have seem protectors and the starboard bottom make it just that much more durable. Honestly when I am ready for a bigger on I am going directly back to Joe at Glass Cages, the team did an amazing job. I had a local aquarium maintenance company “House of Fins” come to fill the aquarium and there guys were very impressed with the quality of the build.

These dimensions sound really cool. I like the 3’ depth gives you a whole lot of options and you were able to keep the height around 2’

Well, that was a fun story. So I actually had to delay the delivery of my aquarium a few months after it was built because I had difficulty finding individuals or company to move the aquarium. I eventually found a moving company that sent over 6 guys to move the aquarium. I provided them suctions cups and supervised the move and everything went well. It’s now resides in my home office, where I spend most of my day.

Thank you. I definitely wanted an aquarium that had some depth to it. And the 3 foot deep really does the trick. Unfortunately with the remaining space in my home office I wasn’t able to go bigger without making the space look like the aquarium was too big for the room.

@JaysLittleOcean This was a very fun build. Love that notched overflow. I really enjoyed developing and innovating with you on this overflow. so much fun.

Thanks so much for the support. We got you!

You're going about this all wrong - you're a guest in the tanks room.

Thank you Joe! You and your team knocked it out of the park. Now all I have to do is enjoy this one for a few years and buy a bigger house to do it all again.
