The stand was also made by Miracle. It's powder coated aluminum. I wish it was steel. Skinning it would be a lot easier.
Where's that incredible stand come from?

Great build thread and a beautiful tank. How much do you figure you saved by
finishing the basement yourself?
I may have missed it but did the movers have to move the tank down stairs at all or is the basement on the ground level?
What flow mode do you have on the two pumps?I was quite surprised as well. Admittedly, I thought two MP60 would do. But when I got the units in hand and try to place them, I notice there's a big problem with the tank set up with the MP60s. The overflow box is too wide forcing me to place the MP60 way too close to the side glass. The flow I got was unsatisfactory. I order two 6255s to replaced them and was shocked that the LPS at the other end of the tank were almost peeling off due to the strong flow. I backed it off to about 30-40% and they seems to push plenty of flow. I think these pumps would handle a 8' tank no problem.
I had holes drilled on the eurobraced on the other end just in case I need to return some flow on that side but ended up not needing it.
My return is a Vextra L1 running at 50%.
Hello Nick!
Awesome tank dude, great work. Massive fan of the angels and aquascape! Any favourite fish in there?

Thanks! It's very hard to pick out a favorite fish. Everyone has their own unique attractiveness.
I'm a huge fan of Regal Angelfish especially the yellow belly ones. The color is just vibrant.
The Interrupta angelfish purple speckles are just a sight to see under the right light angle.
I can't decide on Powder Blue or Powder Brown so I have both.
One yellow tang might not make a statement, but 5 of them will definitely make a statement with their bright yellow color. Not a lot of corals are yellow, so when you have a group of yellow tangs, they definitely make the color of your tank pop.
Chromis are simple but they fill up the higher part of the reef tank pretty nicely.
Anthias fill up the high to mid part of the tank.
Wrasses fill up the mid and bottom of the tank.
The clowns will provide much entertainment with their host anemone. Especially when they breed. You can watch the egg laying process and hatching and it will never get old.
My best accomplishment so far gotta be keeping a mandarin fat and healthy. I've tried this fish in my early days of reefing and was not able to sustain it. So keeping one for more than 4 months and seeing it out swimming in the water column with a big belly is very rewarding.
