Custom Rimless 55 Gallon

[malx]

Hi, All.

I'm looking to build a tank that is rimless, low iron glass. The dimensions I was looking for are 32" long, 20" high, and 20" deep. I'd like to keep the waterline at 18" high, so the overflow and return should probably be 2-3" below the top o f the glass. I need the front and the back of the tank left unscathed, since you'll be able to look through the tank and see the other room. On the left side, I want to put some sort of 15" wide low-profile overflow and I want the return holes drilled on the right side to fit loc-line returns and also support hard plumbing. The overflow should use the Bean Animal method.

Here's some samples of what I found:

Overflow examples: http://reefsavvy.com/the-reef-savvy-difference/

Now, what I need from you all, is recommendations on a place to build this tank. I live in Las Vegas, so the closer the company to Vegas, the better.

Let me know,
Joey

Where are your dimensions? Why did you choose the end type overflow? I think it's beananimal type....

My dimensions are 36 X 20 X 20. I chose them because the tank is being built into a space that I have where I'm putting a wall up. I wanted a quiet non-obtrusive overflow. Do you have other overflow suggestions?
