Needle in a haystack...

Can anyone tell me where I might be able to find a 30 gal (36"L 12"W 16"H) aquarium that is "reef ready" ? My overflow has failed four times in the last six weeks, and todays mishap could have started a fire 8O ... Thanks.

What type of overflow does it has? You may want to drill your tank if it is a siphon-overflow...

You'll need to get it custom built or drill it yourself. Neither All-Glass, Oceanic, or Perfecto build reef-ready tanks this size.

I'm currently looking for an overflow for that size tank and am curious what kind of overflow you're having problems with and what exactly happened?

The over flow box is 6"w 6'H and 2"D, and I have the U shaped siphon tube going over to the back of over flow unit... It seems that the siphon tube lost its prime, and no water was returned to the sump. Water from the sump then over filled the aquarium. I know, I had too much water in sump, but its only ten gallons, and there is not much room in it anyway. So to do this myself, I can just buy a new tank, have it drilled, and install a real over flow? I see how this will work, but what about my stand? Do I drill a hole through the stand for plumbing?
