The overflow takes 8" into the tank so that in reality I only have 88" and minus the space at the opposite side of the overflow. another 8" thats 80" to light up, I think it could be done with the 72'' Maristar

Do you have a move date yet, or are you just playing it by ear?

Pedro, I don't have a move date yet, there is still a few loose ends that I have not figured out how I am going to target, one of them is the electricity for this tank. I would like to use the same electrical wires that I installed when I built the 210, the advantage is that there are 3 dedicated 15A circuit that could be pulled from the attic and reposition in the new tank, the disadvantage is that they are being used right now

Rogger plug in a couple power strips to the existing 15amp receptacles and run some cords over to the new tank. the new tanks components will not consume all the available power.
just a suggestion

Rogger, I'm no electrician either, but I've done plenty of electrical work. Just make sure you flip those breakers off before you start. Let me know if you need un electricista chapusero.

Don't be afraid it may be good therapy.
Can you run a parallel set of cables and then go live the day of the move, unplug the old and plug in the new. run all your test using an extension cord.

My wonder is how expensive would it be to bring an electrician.

Yes 100%, I actually enjoy and feel very confident doing any plumbing work in the tank.

Yeah, I will need to do that until I can transfer the cables safely to the new tank. Great idea, Thanks Gerald

Lulio I thought about running new cables, but I am determined to avoid waste and save money, there will be no use for the romex that is in my attic now unless I use it in the new tank

Just for info we had an electrocution yesterday afternoon. Anyways,
Rogger, you need to post a picture of how it looks after last nights addition. A picture taken from the front door. IT LOOKS GREAT.
