What kind of light do you have over it, are you going to just use this as a frag tank. Any fish or inverts that you are going to add.
 
I have an old/cheap odyssea 150 MH light over it now. I plan to use a radium 250/icecap ballast once I buy a reflector/pendant fixture for it. I have placed some hermit crabs in it already and am planning to get some snails. I have a MP10 coming.

I was thinking of getting a liter meter 3 with remote pump to automatically do 15 gallon daily water changes from my 220g DT/ 55g sump-refug which is on the other side of the room. With a large volume daily water changes, I would hope that I would not need to upgrade the stock solana skimmer and gain stability in Ca/alk/mag (ca reactor in the large system).
 
I made the white stand from Lowes PVC pipe and egg crate. Cost about 30 dollars and I still have half of the egg crate left
 
Love the configuration with the rock in the middle. Thanks for sharing, I am setting up a frg tank and may steal the idea. ;)
 
I will be using it for my frag tank. I placed the dun cans in there so they can be target fed a little easier and get some more light.
