I have a tank that sounds much like yours, but smaller (about 40L). I got it at the AGA auction from Tom Barr who had manged to find several of them. It came with ADA soil, CO2 injectors, filters, heaters, etc. [It was a huge bargain.]
I like it a lot, but uncovered tanks are very impractical in our low humidity, as well as being unsuited to most killifish. [They insist on moving up the evolutionary ladder by trying to live on the carpet. It usually does not work out well.]
As I recall, Tom said they came in with several sizes that nested together to make shipping more practical. Does anyone in SG have a wholesale source that could ship the tanks to the US? They are truly beautiful (but not very cheap). I have not seen them for sale here. I did manage to smuggle home from SG a much smaller one that now houses my Tiger Shrimp.
Also, does anyone make a closed hood (20-30W min.) that will discourage jumpers? At present, I can only keep White Clouds, Barbs and Rasboras in mine. The rounded front corners make normal hoods fit poorly, and there is no ledge for a glass cover.
At a RH of 15% or less on average, I simply must have covers. OTOH, chilling is easy with a good air stone! I plan to even install a swamp (evaporative) cooler on my greenhouse that is nearly completed.

PS. I'm registered to go to the annual AGA Convention in Atlanta GA in Nov. LMK if anyone (but Prof. Tan) will be there, so we can share a beer or three and swap stories.
