so i was piddling around in googlesketch and came up with this idea...anyone seen any of these around? i can find the usual 29 gallon and less but i can't find anything in the 40 gallon range that's a cube...

i want the overflow and bulkheads in the back...as well as the back piece of the "display portion" to be black..if i have to make it myself i'll do so...or custom order it...anyone seen one commercially made before i get crazy?

I've seen cube shaped tanks through my store, about 7months ago a 65G cube came and went, but it wasn't like the biocube or anything just the tank/glass itself.

something like this might be fine...BUT i want the "display compartment" to be cube shaped...with, drilled overflow/bulkheads in the back...

i know i'm getting picky :( that means it's getting complicated, and expensive...

something like this...

Not sure if you noticed but the price is up there.... just like you said.... custom = pricey. The reason why I like that cadlights 50g is..... $350 is pretty hard to beat for a tank like that.
