You usually cannot purchase large glass tanks on the innernet as they do not ship well. You can shop the different manufacturers of tanks sites and they will usually direct you to a dealer in your area. The manufacturers sites will give you the dimentions and the gallons that they make. I had my local fish store special order the Oceanic 90 gallon in pre-drilled reef ready. Most stores will special order sizes that they do not have in stock. Go to google.com and type in aquariums.

Just a thought: Have you thought about looking in the classifieds in you local newspaper? For example, I recently saw a 120 gallon tank and wooden stand for sale because some guy was moving for $350 obo! If I'd had the money at the time, I'd have jumped all over it. There's deals in there all the time. Obviously, you don't have the guarantee that comes with the tank, but you're also more likely to get accessories included with the tank (usually for little more $). You'd still save some money. Good luck with whatever you pick.
