Tank: Marineland 60 gallon rimless cube, drilled with stock overflow.
Stand: black Marineland Ventura stock stand.
Lighting: ReefBreeder Superlux. I spent many hours researching lighting and somewhat inexpensive options. I didn't have a ton to spend as my spouse was audit this upgrade as it was. I've been keeping Reefs since 2000 and have tried most lighting schemes. My current 28 nano is lit with DIY rapid led blue/ white setup in the stock hood. Not full spectrum and am not happy with them. First off I didn't get dimmable ballasts and second they aren't full spectrum like the Reef breeder's fixture. Plus I like the option with the legs to mount over the tank.

The sump is a DIY Aqueon 20 high with glass partitions. The pump is a quiet One 4000.
