What would be retail for a 75 gallon, drilled overflow starfire tank? ballpark Barebones...Just the tank nothing else
 
Go to www.glasscages.com and spec it out... there are tons of options. I ordered from them and I love my tank:

If you want bare bones, then glasscages might be for you. If you want something with a good warranty, nicer finishing touches, better overflows then maybe another company is for you. It all depends on your budget and what you want in your tank.
 
Personally I don't opt for starphire unless glass is over 1/2" thick. Sometimes I'll opt for it on 1/2" tanks, but generally not. 75 gals are generally 3/8" thick. Really not much difference in starphire vs. float glass in 3/8" and under thickness, I rather put the money towards livestock or equipment.
 
The glass on my rimless is 1/2" glass. It is really well built. I can't imagine any more features that I would have wanted in my tank. There is an internal overflow, they custom drilled a return for me because I wanted a bean-animal drain which cost like $35 additional or so (WELL WORTH THE MONEY) and even provided the acryllic overflow guard with teeth and the bulkheads. Three sides are starphire glass, and I got a 3/8" starphire glass top, all for less than a grand. I can't imagine how you could consider that bare bones, but again, this was my first tank.
