The stand has curved glass too? Nice touch. Based on how much I like your other tank I'm sure you're going to put the original owner's efforts to shame =)

Thanks everyone!
Yes, curved glass doors on the stand too. I have an Aquaspace Fixture 2 X 250W MH with PC's that came with the tank. I am not really sure I will be excited about the lighting since I think I will miss the color of the T5's alot but we will see. I am thinking the 6 bulb Tek won't be quite enough light since it's 30" wide and deep. And for the skimmer...It came with a ETSS Downdraft skimmer which I know very little about. Has some great reviews on RC but sounds abit "touchy" to set up initially. My 72G skimmer is a Turboflotor so I don't think it will be enough for this. Don't have $ to buy a new skimmer for quite awhile so one of these will have to work for the time being. I am sooo excited now that it's sitting in my family room! Dreams of aquascaping all night! ha Ha!  And already can't wait to add to my collection!!! Eyeing up a HUGE Elegance coral at work! But I guess I should really get it plumbed first!!!

Looks great! Can't wait to see it all filled up and aquascaped. Did it come with a step ladder so you can reach the bottom
 .I knew you would upgrade and it sure looks like you've made a nice choice.

Thanks!
Leah I am just trying to figure out the largest sump that will work for the space in the stand. Kinda tough to deal with the curved stand and the curved doors so I am VERY limited for width of the sump. Looks like about 12.5-13" and not sure on length yet??? Going to make a cardboard replica today to see what I can get away with. I am using an external pump and possibly an external skimmer so that does help. Want to be sure to incorporate a proper fuge this time as I was unable to do so with the 72G. Made a makeshift with eggcrate. And Mike - It didn't come with a step ladder but I have one that I am sure will be a permanent fixture beside the tank!
