No pictures of the overall tank or stand on hand (plenty on a broken hard drive!), and the tank is in storage. Here is one that at least shows the color of the stand:
Here's a description from another post:
The tank was custom built in 2004 by InterAmerican (now Bow Valley I think; they're Canadian) for a specific purpose. It an 8 foot 300 gallon (96Lx24Wx30T) and is made of 3/4" glass all around with three 22" overflows built onto the back of the tank (not internal boxes; the external boxes save space in the tank and make servicing easier). Also, the tank is "Euro-Braced" (which, if you're not aware, means that there is a lip of glass about an inch or two wide around the entire top inside edge for structural support). Added to that are four braces across the top that are there to support the return plumbing I used; the braces are drilled to hold bulkhead fittings, etc. for a return manifold. Unfortunately, one of those braces cracked (I carelessly left a metal halide light on it and the heat cracked it), but the cracked brace isn't part of the structural integrity of the tank.
There is a custom stand with the tank also. It is much more attractive than any store bought stand. It is built with a 4x4 frame skinned with furniture grade lumber and raised panel doors. An electrical panel was constructed on one end of the stand (inside a door) that has a whole bunch of electrical outlets built in. The panel just has to be plugged in to the wall for it to work. There is not a canopy, though. Also, the trim around the base of the tank was broken when we move it, but that isn't necessary for it to look fine, and it can be easily replaced for a few bucks (just some trim and a mitre saw). I have the original stain and touch-up paint if you need it.
All that said, the tank has been replaced in my house by a bigger one, so I have no place to put it anymore. A similar tank would cost $1500+ new plus about $500 for shipping (the thing is extremely heavy) if you could order direct from the manufacturer. A fish store could make it happen for a few hundred more. The stand would be impossible to replicate inexpensively, but a cabinet maker could probably get it to you for about $1500-$2000, maybe more (guessing based on material costs; my father-in-law is a carpenter). Oceanic used to make a similar version for $3500.
The tank is in a storage unit, so access would be simple, but it's EXTREMELY heavy. You'll need five strong guys to move it, six would be better. We moved it with five guys and a couple of furniture dollies (the flat ones) by rolling it onto a flatbed trailer and, later, into the house. Once there, it is too heavy to just lift on the stand easily, but it can be tipped onto it without much trouble. It may be easiest just to get a handful of day laborers or a moving company to make it happen.
Obviously, I cannot guarantee the tank since it's used (no seller will guarantee a used tank), but I used it for about three years with no trouble. I have no reason to believe it is anything but fine. Also, I can promise you the stand will never fail as it is the most overbuilt thing you've ever seen!
