Hi all!! I will be upgrading from an IM aio 40gal to a Waterbox 100.3 tank. It’s my first time setting up a tank with a sump. Although i am not a newbie when it comes to plumbing I am a bit nervous. I got the tank from a friend. Everything from my 40gal will be reused except for the skimmer and heaters.

So far this is what I have, most items are used:
Curve 5 extreme skimmer
IM 5 gal. ATO setup
IM Helio 400 watt heater (new)
Ai 32/ Ai 26 led lights
Ai Nero 3/5
Syncra sdc 6.0
About 30lb of live rock
Another 30lb of dry rock

One of my big concern is the tank front is floating and not sitting on anything to be supported on. Is this okay? The tank is flushed to the stand.

You should be fine! I think it is common for waterboxes to hang off the stand a little bit.
 
Thank you! That makes me feel better
