YOU have been ignored!
Everything you see in this picture is from Premium Aquatics (with exception of some of the live stock. The new tank has been running now for about 9 mos. I'm very happy with all my equipment I've gotten from PA!

Yes it has no trim on the top of the tank. No bracing at all. Its 3/4" acrylic with an external overflow. I had premium aquatics build me a frag tank just like theirs 6'x24"x12" (no bracing) I liked the style of it so much I asked them if it was possible to build a display with no bracing too. They said they would have to use thicker stock. It bows a little on the front and back, about 1/2" to be exact but I really like the outcome. Its from their custom tank builder. Thanks for the compliments.

Its a standard dimension 90 gallon tank. Ive had it running now for about 9mos I think. Got the Geisemann lights for myself last Christmas and it really does a lot for the look of the tank. Its a very nice quality light fixture. Very polished, as Jeremy said - its got a finish like a BMW.

The stand was made by a friend of mine thats a custom furniture maker. Made from solid cherry and some veneer. He did a great job.

I have a Geo Ca reactor, 2 Tunze 6100's on a 7095 controller, a Blueline 1300gph return (throttled back a bit with a ball valve), and a Neptune ACIII on the internet (I work away from home m-f), a Euro-reef 6-2 skimmer with a plumbing kit to help with the micro bubbles and 2 home made auto top off's, 1 for h20 and the other for kalk if the ph is < 8.2. Everythings automated to the max since I got the Neptune. I'm really happy I invested in the Neptune. It gives me a better sense of safety while I'm away since there is nobody to check the tank.

I've got 90lbs of Marshal Island LR and Tonga Branch. So far I've got about 40 species of acro's, monti's and a few of my favorite softies that I couldn't part with from my first reef. I've also got about 15 different morphs of zoo's in the sand. Everything has been doing very well and growing so I'm happy.

The guys at Premium aquatics have been extremely helpful since I've been in this hobby. I used to live in Indy and would go in and talk to them on occasion. They were always helpful and would put up with me asking them all the stupid questions. Now that I live in Florida I still would not buy anything anywhere else. I really appreciate the quality service I've always gotten from them over the last couple years. They are great people to deal with.
 
Actually I don't have to clean it very much. Knock on wood. I've just added a few more fish so we will see what happens when I start feeding more. ;)

Thanks Kim! So you got any pics of your new tank?
