Customize Oceanic Ultimate 210g??

Hey guys,

Im looking to start a new, in wall, around 210g tank. I checked AquariumsForYou.com and some other sites, but they are all much more expensive than Oceanic's Ultimate line, which has a 210g.

What I don't like about the ultimate is that (1) Only the front pane is starphire, (2) They only come with ugly, corner INTERNAL overflows, and (3) That stupid trim

Now, what I am thinking of doing is buying an Ultimate Non-reefready and then taking it somewhere to get external overflow installed on the back center of the tank.

Any ideas if this is possible or not? And who, if anyone, I could take it to? Im on the east coast.

Thanks

The oceanic non-reef ready would be about 800$...

Really... where'd you purchase that tank??

If anyone can point me in the direction of some cheaper, custom class aquariums I would really appreciate it.

If your doing an inwall system then the only starphire glass you would need is the front panel, unless your doing a corner tank or the tank extends into the room with both side open.

The ocenaic 215 starphire has dual overflows that are mounted mid point on each end and not in the corners, this is the tank that I just purchased, hope this helps

Thanks for the replies.

Yeah, the thing is the tank will be extending out of the wall about 20", sorry forgot to mention that.

Maxalmon, how do you like the new tank? Are the overflows as big as they look in the pictures?
