Sounds workable.

the beanimal and herbie are the same.. kinda like durso and stockman Brad, but the herbie is the way to go. depending ont he flow you want you won't need as many bulkheads.

since you have to drill the tank anyways I would recomend an external overflow with yor herbie sertup in that. nice and clean inside the tank.

go to HD or what ever and buy some unfilled travitiene tiles for your bottom, that will give you a beige sand look. but a couple more tunze..

why did you want a new tank? more room?

oh and the most important thing.. make the stand big enough to store everything underneith and make the doors lockable to keep the little one out of chemicals and such.

+1 on external i did it on my 50 cut the notch myself not too hard just keep the bit wet i love the extra room inside the tank. if i can figure out a way to do external on my future 120 i definately will.just means i have to cut a hole in my wall which i am ok with .... the wife not so much. so i may have to go internal. which is still better than hang on back which is what im currently using

external overflow
beanimal
fish room or at least 2 containers one filled with live rock and one just sw so i can do quick water changes

Why buy vs. build? I'm pretty good with a saw, so other than time, I think I save a lot and get the strength I need.

External overflow is sounding better all the time.
