Sorry it took me so long to respond everyone, i've been traveling.
To answer a few of your questions...
Yes I used HDPE and not starboard brand.
No I didnt have to cut it into more than one piece to get it into the tank.
I used the black aquarium silicon than Petco sells. I think its brand labeled by AGA.
The HDPE is inside the tank just resting on the bottom of the tank and no i did not silcone it down.
Thanks everyone!

Thanks for the nTOTM votes everyone! It was close but matt's tank was very nice!
I have big new!!!
There is an Elos distributor in Atlanta and I stopped by to check them out because I had never seen one in person...
...and let me tell you...they are the MOST beautiful and well engineered tanks that I have every seen!!!!!
...and I bought a Elos System 70!!!
Here are some pictures for those who have never seen one!
HIGHLIGHTS:
-Black silicon sealed, all FLOAT glass aquarium
-Frameless
-Ready to plug: each aquarium includes all the necessary equipment/tubing/plumbing for an easy set-up.
-Surface overflow: the water comes to the filter (SUMP) via the surface overflow
-All glass sump type filter: the filtration system SUMP 4/500/1000M designed for the use in a cabinet (photo), contains all elements, that are necessary for the successful maintenance of a modern reef aquarium - without any compromises.
-Mechanical filtration: easy to clean mechanical filter. Each filter is equipped with two different mesh size filter bags.
-Biological filtration: through the .Variable velocity Reducing Chamber ® . which helps in maintaining a constant level, of micro element thus permitting the variation of the oxidizing/reducing filter capacity and the related oxidation/reduction activity of the filter.
-Automatic compensation of the evaporated water: thanks to the electronic level controller ELOS Osmocontroller II set in the supplied spare-water chamber.
-Aquarium stands: the ELOS SQUARE is a perfect complement to your System Aquarium. Made in high profile, high water-resistance laminated wood with a superior finish, the ELOS SQUARE can be purchased also in the elegant Matt or Glossy hand-made varnished versions available in all RAL colors.
STANDARD EQUIPMENTS:
-Glass tank: 75x57x50h cm (29,52 x 22,44 x 19,7 h inch.), capacity 210 lt. (55 gal)
-Cabinet: 75x57x80h cm (29,52 x 22,44 x 31,5 h inch.)
-Glass filter: SUMP 400 Marine including Mechanical Filter, filter bags, biological chamber with regulating tap, spare water chamber (photo).
-Skimmer: NS 500 including EHEIM 1250 pump (photo)
-Level controller: Osmocontroller II including pump (photo)
-Pipings: overflow corrugated tube including connections, silicon tube and exit pipings
-Top -up pump: EHEIM 1250
Anyway, I will take some final pictures of the Solana and then unfortunately I will be leaving the nano forum since my new tank is over 40 gallons
Thanks for all your support over the last year!

Congrats on the ELSO, please give us a link to your new build outside of the Nano threads!
Elos was my first choice. It still is... LOL I need time with the Solana. Still figuring my way around. The micro bubbles is a pain right now. Perhaps next year.
I hope you post on the Elos thread. I got to know if you get bubbles... It would be nice to have a tank bubble free (or just about).
