Disaster with my 160 gallon!!!

So I worked out a deal to trade my 7ft 160 gallon acrylic tank for a 4ft 150 gallon acrylic tank and was very happy to reduce the footprint in my livingroom. I transfered all my livestock over to a 10 gallon and drained/cleaned the main display. I then proceeded to moving the display tank with help from my father-in-law. In order to get from livingroom through my front door the tank required lifting the tank over my head and turn 90 degrees....long story short I dropped the tank on myself and it busted into ~20 pieces :headwally::(:headwally:
I was now desperately in need of a 4 ft tank to fit my previously built stand so I could get my livestock out of that 10 gallon. Luckily I found a 75 gallon @ petsmart for $199.

My previous tank was drilled and had a coast-to-coast overflow so I did not have an HOB overflow and I refuse to pay ~ $85 for the one @ SWReef. Does anyone have one lying around that will handle ~1000 GPH that they will sell me or trade a frag or two for?

Call or text me on my cell if you got one - 573-9547
 
Just got my return plumbed and go to install the overflow.....it's cracked all down one side. I'll have to return it tomorrow.
 
As much as I didn't want to I purchased it @ SW Reef. Since it was broke they exchanged it for me no problem. I'll get it setup once I get off work tonight.
