Upgraded our 57 gal non reef-ready tank to this Oceanic 70 gal tech tank in cherry. Purchased from our LFS in Clayton, NC a few years ago. Decided to go with a black substrate this time. Love the color and the way it makes the corals pop. I think it hides the dirt of the substrate a bit better than the light colors but others disagree and that certainly is one's prerogative. We had our local cabinet maker do solid maple legs replacing the MDF ones on the stand. My tankmaster also reinforced the area between the legs to prevent any movement whatsoever.
