Sounds good, look forward to seeing the tank come together.  I would have to strongly recommend that while the tank is still at the manufacturer you have them do the drilling and install the internal overflows.  You may not think the added cost is worth it right now, but I guarantee you that you will wish you had within 6 months of setting the tank up with hang on style overflow

  Agree strongly w/ Adam. Let them (mfg) do the drilling & install the overflows. Whether glass or acryllic it takes some skill & if it's done by you after purchase, you'll void the warranty.

I ORDERD IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I did it on monday!!!!!!

 only thing is, i didnt actually think about the whole get it through the door now did i?? thinking i got a bluddy ginormous double door way.

so i had to think on the spot and get the width cut down from 3 foot to 2 foot. but what i did to reclaim some of the gallons i wanted. i increased the length from 5 to 5 and a half foot. although this did not increase it much but an incredible jump from 30 gallon to 230ish gallons.

cool mate
did you get them to drill it ?

You know you can turn the tank on its side so it would be 3' vertically through the door, and 2' horizontally.  Then when you get it in side you could turn it back to the correct orientation.  It doesnt have to go through the door with the bottom facing down.  Probably too late now, but thought I would suggest it.

iw anted a 3 foot wide by 3 foot high tank originally. so it would still be 3 foot either way. but i do understand what u are talking about adam.
