Tank only. Custom ordered from Alamo Aquatics. Built by Deep Sea Aquatics. Edges on three faces facing you in the pic are ground, polished and edges are beveled. The glass is 1/2" all around and 3/4" on the bottom. Pretty shallow at around 16-18" might be good for a frag tank. In fact, that's what I was going to use it for, but my fish room will only be 5' wide so this is a tight fit at about 40" on it's long sides (in the back of the photo).
The bottom trim is Deep Sea's characteristic extruded plastic with wood grain and the top is Euro-braced, except for a short segment on the back left pane that is left open for lily pipes and floats on this sumpless setup. Not drilled, but you could DIY or get a hang on back overflow.
There is a subtle scratch on the short pane (front of picture) that happened when a piece of sand got between a magnetic algae scraper and the glass. That was the last time I used one of those.
The tank cost me $1200. I know it will not fit everyone's style and a stand is not included (the tank was on a kitchen counter) ... I think $400 is reasonable.
Thanks for looking ... Dipan
