JBJ 45 questions

[mcidcbcmd]

I am seriously considering the JBJ 45...here's my concerns and questions:

I've heard the stand is cheap...I know it made of MDF..is it ok and will it properly support the tank or would I need to upgrade to an all wood stand?

Noise...I know its a rear sump...I am looking to do a tunze skimmer, reactor etc...question is how silent are these tanks? Are the louder than say a red sea reefer 170 with a closed cabinet sump?

Another concern for the JBJ 45 is the tank splitting. There have been numerous threads of their JBJ45 splitting.
If the RedSea Reefer is within budget, I'd highly suggest getting that. As far as noise goes for the Red Sea, it's dead silent. I'm running a Eheim Compact 2000 pump, Aquamaxx WS-1 and with the doors closed, I hear the fan from my XR15 more than anything and that's pretty darn quiet.
