Round 3, lets try this again....

ok so the 150 i got is now scraped , I was lucky enough to get a 180, the only thing is it has dual overflows instead of a bean animal sytle overflow, so going to have to figure out a way to tie both drain lines into the reefmat , second thing is now im going to have to rebuild the stand since the tank sizes are different. I was looking at one of the older threads on diy stand build caculator and said that 2x8 72in You dont need a center support was thinking maybe go even a bit overboard and doing 2x10's but will see once I get to that point,
I did check the tank all the way around before buying it, all seals look to be in really good shape, and he did do a water test on it for a week before he posted it up , so looks like im going to break down the 60 and transfer everything to smaller tanks for the time being while I get this new tank up and running, im going to try to get it complete in three days so the other stuff isnt sitting for too long

so I have seen people build stands out of t-slot alumin. and was wondering if this stuff would work, would do the 4080 for the boarder and the risers , and do 4040 for the cross members, or would it be better to build the new stand out of wood
