If you were to start over?

[Rainman58]

My stand is 30" high and think it`s a pretty good height for viewing when sitting down which is what we are doing usually when in a room. But if I had to do it all over again I think i would try and purchase a used system instead of new and not have all the headaches with algae etc. that we go through in the first year. The biggest problem I have found in this hobbie is that everyone will tell you something different when your searching for advice and you usually end up more confused than when you started asking questions in the first place.
