Well I have started the process in making the stand for the new tank that I'm going to build so I will let you reefer's follow that post.
its a 65 gal mega flow tank made by all glass. 36x18x24
the lighting will be 2x 250's Aqua medic HQI with 12 K phoenix bulbs with electronic ballast.
the sump will be a 75 gal all glass with a center refugium light controlled by a Ice cap 175 ushio bulb.
here are the lights that im getting after xmas. man i'm pumped about getting them too.
here is the basic stand that i build out of 2x4's the out side skirt will be home depot cupbaords that will finish the stand..
here are the cupboard doors that i will be using there will be 4 of them 2 in the front and 1 on each side

I went with a basic type of stand since its going to be the open top look with my new lights..
i bought a reno piece of counter top to finish off the top of the stand..
and here is the stand pretty much done with the exception of the doors and a few touch ups..
once i get the Tank from Doug I will have some shots of the tank and stand.
the tank will have major flow 1 tunze 6080 at 2250GPH along with a tunze 6100 with a controller. My lps, gorgonian's Ricordia's and other corals that can't handle the flow will go to Doug along with my Prize fish the lavender Tang..
But i know DOug will keep him fat and healthy too.
