"What is the biggest aquarium that All-Glass manufactures?

The largest size aquarium that we currently make is 210 gallons. The dimensions of that tank are approximately 72L x 24W x 30H. It is available in 2 colors black and oak. It can be purchased as a standard aquarium or predrilled with 2 Mega Overflows."

ramble rose thanks!! my hole in the wallwill be perfect then!!

No problem. I specifically waited to start the wall construction till I had the tank because I was too worried about the numbers. I just don't trust a web sites measurements. At least not when it would make a few hours more work for me...
 
I have this same Tank, with the 2 Mega Overflows.

I bought it used from a friend, and he was doing FOWLR. I'm thinking about moving towards a full blow reef, so I figured I might tag along here.

Does your tank have the 2-1inch and 2-3/4inch holes in the overflows? I'm still trying to figure out how I intend to do the plumbing on this beast..

What do you have in mind for your plumbing?
 
Not to put too much of a dampner on the nre tanks, but I had 2 AGA-210's bust on me last year! Completely flooded my living room while I was on vacation with the 2nd one! I switched to acrylic now and the clarity blows the glass way out of the water!

On a good note, I have 3x250 DE and there is plenty of light - SPS's, clam and all...

I'm guessing if you had 2 bust on you it had something to do with your stand? Did you build your own or did you use a factory stand? Any extra holes drilled in it? Where did the tank let go?
 
If I told you that AGA paid for EVERYTHING including my hardwood floor to be replaced, would you still think it was not their fault completely?
 
1st one, leaked when I was doing a leak test, bottom right hand corner when viewed from the front just was not sealed properly.

The second one, leaked along the front/botton seam about 1ft from the bottom right when viewed from the front, but it lasted about 2 months, you enough to get all my LR,LS and stuff transfered from my old tank and to get that comfort level :(

Both tanks were out of the box, no extra drilling or anything.

It really sucks to see your hardwork allover the floor!
 
So both tanks leaked to start with, and the second tank you knew was leaking but decided to use it anyways? Did I understand that correctly?
 
Well in my case, the tank was setup at someone else's house for 6 months with no problems, and it's been in my house for 4 months with no problems yet.

Sorry to hear about your luck, but I'm not in a position to change the thing out just based on that.

Hello Again

Just received my light retrofit kit today from Hamilton technology.
Looks real good, big difference in weight with electronic ballast
compared to my old light with magnetic ballast.
And the old light only has 2 lights.
