Oooooh nice tank man. With the tank being upstairs, unless you have central air or plan on a chiller I would opt for option 1 or option 5. As far as the tank stand goes....see my signature

ill send you a pm about the stand forshure,
ive never had a tank with a canopy so im a bit unshure if im gonna like it or not and if i mount t5's in thier im stuck keeping the canopy on the tank but i am happy with the 8 bulb tek i have on my other tank so im kinda leaning towards t5's cause the price vs. the solaris which would be about double.

might as well get some opinions on skimmers and return pumps while where at it, the return pump has to be quiet.. very quiet so does the skimmer, the tank is abou 60g and the sump will be mabey in the 30g range i think some thing in the 700-100gph range will work fine, id like a red dragon but might buy something cheeper to start off with and switch it later, the tank is only gonna have 3-5 fish so fairly small bio load but i might try out the blue coral method which will add alot of extra nutrients so i want a good skimmer that is quiet

Those are some mighty nice floors ... I know what my wife would do to me if I spilled SW on a floor like that. (I'm banished to the basement too ever since we moved into our new place.)

Anyhow nice tank setup, should be a fun build.
