I picked up this bad boy yesterday in Little Rock, AR. The seller is from KY & met me near the middle. Due to the dimensions, I was able to fit everything in the bed of my pickup (no trailer needed)! Everything is acrylic including the sleek stand. Very modern looking. Made by Sealife Systems of FL. It's only 18" tall giving a total volume of ~270 gallons. 300+ gallon system including the big sump. Center overflow. The dimensions are perfect for what I plan on keeping. Will load more pics later, but here's a quickie.

Wow - that's cool and I'm jealous! What did you pay for it?

DNA has a simliar one, but maybe taller. Beautiful tank - wish I could afford it/had a place to put it...

It's got a lip all around the perimeter if that answers your question. That lip will keep water from splashing out due to the inhabitants.

Thanks for all the compliments. I had some plumbing issues initially (broke a 1/2" bulkhead on the return pipe). I had the hardest time finding one locally & ended up ordering one online. It seems 3/4" ones are plentiful, but nothing smaller. Hookah?roflmaoNah, it's a vase containing a dozen roses. The tank is still being cycled so there isn't much to see yet.
