Great pics of ADA stuff guys!
I'm also a huge fan of rimless. All my SW tanks have been rimless. Something about rimless makes you feel that the water/corals/fish are really in the room with you, and not enclosed in a box.
For my new tank I went with an ADA 90-P. I had a friend drill one of the short sides and install a very small overflow box. The tank is beautifully made, with nice dimensions and great seams. The tank itself was close to $400, not too bad, but the shipping kills you!
Here's an old pic, but the seams show up pretty well:

Yep, that's pretty much it. The tanks are low-iron, like Starphire, and this apparently makes them more difficult to drill. But this guy had drilled about 8 ADA tanks previously, so I was comfortable letting him drill mine.
FWIW, ADA says their tanks are not drillable.

I finally stocked . . . da Artsy-Cube
I still have the GSP ring and one fish to add. Nothing else will go in there.
Here are a few photos

The tank above is low-iron and as you can see, I drilled teh hello out of it. I did not notice any differences at all. However, it was only 1/4" glass, so thinker glass my present other problems.
Nonetheless, I used a hand drill and the same diamond tipped hole saws that I have used with traditional glass.

It's kind of fun hearing people debate design styles again. (I haven't heard that kind of talk since architorture school!) I am completely sick of the postmodernist/revival/country/overblown crap we have to choose from here in the states and I'm happy to see some more enlightened minimalism becoming available! When my ship finally comes in, it will have one of these tanks on it!

CamBarr- those are some nice tanks, but they look a bit neglected. Someone hasn't mowed the lawn in a long time
