    Same here! My biggest fear! Along with the 55 sump/fuge that cannot be removed from the stand without the 150 being removed from the top! Geesh, I goona have nightmares now..

    Well it looks like the only company that makes 36 acrylics is seaclear. I will call around to see if anyone has any tomorrow afternoon and go check them out. I can't seem to find any with built in overflows..man that would be nice. If anyone has any recommendations on places to look that would be great.

    Man, I know how you feel. Just be lucky the whole back of the tank didn't bust like my first 55g.

    I would recommend you go with acrylic.

    I'm startin to think of a slight upgrade lol The only thing is my ATO. There is no way I could run a line all the way from my bathroom to my livingroom where the larger tank would be. Hell I guess I could bump up the pump a little bit on the line from my storage tank to the sump...We'll see what I end up comin home with this afternoon. ;)

    Sure...an upgrade would be nice...now's the time!
    Bump up the pump for ATO...along with 10 other bumps...it adds up fast!

    aahhghhghdlfjsflk I don't know what to do. I'm gonna go over to Columbus, GA this afternoon..they have a little bette selection of stores. I'm sure I'll just end up impulse buying a tank. A 55 would look nice. I would be fine on all the pumps and my sump would work for now. Lighting would be the only real issue. Who knows. I'll post tonight and let yall know what I found.

    TruVu offers a 40Gallon Reef ready: 36x15x16 not sure if that would fit your stand and it does not look like it is a bow front:

    40 R Reef Ready (36x15x16)

    Good luck, sorry to hear about the leak.

    Well I just got back from Columbus..I don't know why I didn't just go to Montgomery. I will go there tomorrow. I thought about a 55..but after looking at them I changed my mind. They're way to narrow. I kind of fell in love with a 40 breeder but it didn't have a stand or anything.

    By the way...what happened to regular aquarium cabinets?!?!? They're all these decorative tables with shelves and only one little tiny cabinet door. Nonsense. The place I'm going to tomorrow has TONS of new/used tanks. If I don't find anything there I am going to just order the seaclear 36 acrylic and drill it.
