Also, keeping one in the sump as a backup filter for QT setup would be handy!

More also, I think the thick slab could conceivably be used as a substitute to a remote DSB. Maybe.

Very cool, that stand musta cost an arm and a leg. Thanks for sharing.

sorry to derail.

I actually thought that I was posting in Wokaid's thread

Wokaid Prereterement Build
 

Photos from my build.

Wokaid:
Where did you buy that nice extruded aluminium?

I went through 80/20s nearest Canadian distributor which was Rocky Mountain
Machining in BC. Basically you deal with a Salesperson that then send your plans to 80/20 designers who come up with a drawing. Designers are not Engineers so can not guaranty if the stand will hold your tank. This little tidbit I only found out after a few emails. This caused me to add the 45 degree braces.
Definitely not the cheapest option.

Looks sturdy enough.
And cool

IMO, the pursuit of ever increasing surface areas in reef tanks is an overblown distraction.
