what are the tank's dimensions?

tank looks nice but that is one scary looking stand. i wouldnt trust it without alot more bracing.

Very nice, does the T5 bulbs have reflectors?

I have a similar size cube 240g with a steel stand, its 2" square tubbing with a lot more cross bracing

yea the stand looks a little thin..... But great looking tank!!! how's the sohal acting with the hippo?

the stand holds a forklift on it, its very sturdy, the t5s dont have reflectors but have a reflective paper under them, t5s are going to be removed once i have anuff for new metal halide units, tanks 1200 1200 500 and the sohal and hippo algud
