My pleasure-
In my weird head, 5 and 6 foot tanks just look... grand. They have that whoa factor. If I went from my Nyos 70g to a 130, it would double my dosing costs and much of the equipment would need to be upgraded as you know. I do water changes weekly and the maintenance takes a good amount of my time between scrubbing rocks and glass. It would just take too much time that is precious on a weekend.
Another reason I like the stand for the 100 is that it sits higher than my Nyos, and it has leveling feet as well. The top piece also has well padded leveling mat, like a thin yoga mat. I feel like they went above and beyond on the construction.
if I could change anything or suggest anything to Eshopps, it would be to mimmick what Nyos does with their tanks and do an external overflow instead of internal.
