After having my aqueon 210 overrun with bryopsis and i couldn't prune them fast enough i decided to through in the towel. Then my wife gave me the best Christmas present ever and okayed a new aquarium.
So i started my order for a new Crystal Dynamics 210 with three sides starfire glass and external coast to coast overflow.

The tank finally arrived last week from Aquatic Collections of Hayward. Joseph and his crew delivered my new tank and i couldn't be happier with the workmanship of this tank.

Got a little work done today. I got the base to my floating canopy on. Now pushed the tank into its spot. Also started putting all the reactors back in.

this should allow me to raise and lower the canopy via two attach support wires.

I have a 220 and am going to build a wooden stand for it to sit on. What dimension lumber did you use for your stand build originally and any issues with it at all structure wise? I want the open base concept that you have shown here.

2 x 6 for top brace. 2x4 for legs. Structure is tough as a tank.
