    So here is what I replaced my 65 with this week after it sprang a leak.

    90 custom built acrylic tank with the overflow box built on the back and not in the tank

    Wow, congrats on the tank, Pierce Eye. It looks wonderful! Nice 'scape too. What re the tank dimensions? It looks something like 36x24x24.

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    You should be very happy with the results, while un-intended, it looks beautiful. Congrats.

    You're welcome. :) I love deep-dimension aquariums. I'm sure the exterior overflow adds quite a bit of room in the tank as well.

    ya it makes it look much nicer on the back...no box :)

    It also has a hood with side boards on the back to hide the plumbing...I will post some pics tomorrow with the hood on after I rearrange a few pieces
