Well this is really my first real involvement in the site and posting. Just past christmas a guy I use to sell live rock to called me and was trying to off load this 270 it started at 1200 and eventually settled at 600 for tank 72Lx36Tx24D stand was trash and all I kept was canopy and tank which came with 2 175 watt MH and a external pump sea turbo 1740p which is a little on the big side . I think I got a pretty good deal so down with 125 and up with 270 here is a pic of it just getting it in garage.

here is the metal stand we built at my buddy's shop it is 1.25 square tubing with 1/8th steel gussets it took about 10hrs from start to finish stand stands 41.25 tall which looks great but is a pain in the A$$ for getting in tank. Let me know what you think

Man who made your stand... I'm in GA to and I would totally pay some money for one like that. That thing could hold up a car!
