Personally I think this is a better idea. To have a stand in the room as an island, I think you need a very large area and the tank should serve as a divider. I do like the new position, but have you thought of a corner tank?

Eta for the tank?
Likely putting in the order this week... not really in a rush for it, but would be nice to get it so I can work out the rest of the system. Seems like new ideas always creep up when you visually have the tank in front of you.

This is in the corner...

The lower ceiling over that corner position is going to drive you nuts. Looks good, though. You have to starfire glass both the viewable sides.

The tank is only 20" high on a 36" tall stand.. I should have plenty of head room over the tank for maintenance. I've got Alberta-Newb (Trigger Coatings Inc) building a lighting bracket which will have the capability of raising up with small gas lifts, out of the way for tank work or changing bulbs. Probably looks lower in the picture, but I have close to 26" from tank rim to roof. Unless your thinking something different??

I expect the quote back tomorrow with the cost of both side's starfire. I really want them but I'll have to see what the cost is.
