I picked this tank up at MACNA. It measures 60" x 30" x 20"(in the shallow) and 36" (in the deep end). It is 3/4" Starfire glass with PVC bottom. It has a closed loop with two intakes and 3 outputs. The filtration includes a sump with Reef Octopus 2000-INT skimmer, and 1200 GPH return pump. It is dosed via a Bubble Magus doser. Lighting consists of 2 x AI Vega Colors.

Here are a few pics of it.

I used all Base Rock on this tank, and as you can see in the pictures, the coralline algae is really starting to come in nicely. The tank was set up on October 15, 2012. I have a pair of Ocellaris clowns, a Regal tang, 2 Tuxedo damsels, and about 7 anthias (red saddle) and 3 Aurulentis anthias. I plan to add more fish and inverts but the tank hasn't been set up long enough yet.
 
Wow! I left the hobby >20 years ago, and I never recall seeing a drop off tank back then. I'm totally enamored!! Now to find just the right house....
