The stand is well built, and it is plywood. Great improvement over the MDF.

Water test in progress, and have the pex lines run for the ATO/AWC...Going to using a DOS mounting in the basement for the AWC.

What other pieces of equipment did you buy to go along with it? Just want to see what kind of things to get also if I were to get a tank kit like this from red sea! It comes with a sump already too right?

Too much to list, but some of them are an apex controller, two MP40's, the DOS for auto water changes, redsea led 90's, and a red sea skimmer 300 to name a few. I'll be posting installs of these as I progress so you have a better picture of the settup.

Ok...been a little bit, but I finally have the rock work done. The depth, and height of this tank was really nice to work with. I'll be moving on to wiring the sump/etc later today or tomorrow.
