So, this is going to be a long thread (I think), but I'll update along the way with progress. I have a lot of other projects going, but I should be able to get to this one in the not so distant future.
I ordered the tank a while ago, and I finally made the time to coordinate delivery. I had it delivered to a semi-local business with a loading dock. It didn't hurt that I knew the owner (thanks Neoprodigy). Anyway, we loaded it into the back of my 4runner, and I put it on some furniture dollies when I got home. The tank is a 375g with a black back and black sides. 3/4" on the verticals and 1/2" on the top and bottom. Dimensions are 96x30x30.
 
I've had this tape on my wall since December, I think. Long time, I know, but I've been trying to determine the correct size for the space, putting in the sink and plumbing in the utility room behind the tank, etc. I had a 265 that I thought would go into the space, but after careful consideration, I decided that it wasn't going to be big enough, and I didn't want to regret the decision.

The brand is Midwest Custom Aquariums. From what I can tell after inspecting, they do great work and I am really impressed with his attention to detail.
