It was made overseas and imported into Canada by Aquatic Kingdom.

Yes, I do need a stand and have decided to go wood, based on rocket engineer's design. I will skin it afterwards when all is plumbed and things are all wired up!

Not to get to ahead of yourself but what are your plans equipment wise. What do you need/what will carry over from current system? Better yet will this be a whole new build and current system will stay running till this one is ready. Beauty tank excited to see more progress

Nice tank. Mines from the same place but I don't have the euro bracing.

Looks good Tyler, I think I would of expected tighter ends on the Bracing but it's gonna certainly be a nice build. You're gonna have fun.

I agree and my expectation is perfection.

These pictures are from the factory during production while the eurobracing was being placed and attached. It still needed to be trimmed and finished. I should hopefully get some more final pictures soon!

An update…

Just finished constructing the framing for my stand, based on RocketEngineer's plan on ReefCentral.
I wanted full unobstructed access to the sump area so I chose to go with this design.

The plan called for a 2x8 as the top brace to handle the weight and force of my sized tank. I ended up going with 2- 2x6s sandwiched together so that the opening underneath would be slightly larger. The 2-2x6s should also be stronger then a single 2x8.

I had to decide what height I wanted to make the stand, as my tank is already 26" high, so I wanted to ensure access for maintenance wouldn't be too difficult then it already would be.

The stand height is 30.5" plus 26" for the tank, add some plywood and foam board and I will be at about 58 inches.
The result is that under my stand, I will have about 27-28" of height available for a skimmer and working area.

Just thought to put this out here for ideas and opinions, as it still not too late to make any modifications.

Here is a current pic of the stand up on a few 2x4s as I am doing some patch work, etc.
The additional 2x4 gives it a height of 34" versus the 30.5" without.

2-2x6's are good if you used pl-adhesive and screws to laminate them together.  Remember they're really only 1.75x5.5" (still not sure where they got away with making lumber smaller than it's supposed size).
