Schweet!!!

Great dimensions too. A wide 48" or 60" fixture would work. Definetly get a nice hanging fixture for that baby, maybe even one in white to match the decor.

Grundig that is really gorgeous, reminds me of reefbums tank before the corals grew in.

Nice looking tank! AO overflows don't bother me.

NO, that is not what I'm saying. AO's aquarium looks great, I just do not understand why AO does make overflows like this or if they can not then out source it.

Custom precision milled overflow teeth: ¼” x 1" slots, on ½” centers. Use reverse slope machined edges for less noise and fewer bubbles. Typical overflow teeth length are 1 ½” to 2 ½” with a flow rates for about 100gph per inch of teeth if the water level is all the way to the top of the overflow teeth. Most tanks have a water level a little lower, so these typical numbers above assume that your water level is midway to about 2/3 up to the top of the overflow teeth.

Cool, The tank really is nice. I thought you were poking at my tank, my apologies.
