If it's like there other stands it's MDF. I like the tank on these but with they would make everything hidden like the Red Sea tanks. Was going to get one but bought a cube tank and just going to build the dream tank. Nice tank

How's the tank coming along Alex?

I really like the dimensions and looks of these tanks, just not sure if I could justify the cost. I also love the tall stands. The only issue I see will be skimmer selection, because the stock one isn't really an effective option IMO. I bet the cadlights PLS-100 would fit though.

Hey everyone, sorry there hasn't been an update in a while just got consumed with school and other things. Tank has progressed a lot over the last couple of weeks in terms of the filtration and livestock. I'm currently away on an extended trip so the tank build has been put on hold (have a great reefer taking care of my tank at home). When I return the tank will get a complete overhaul and I will begin adding corals and more fish so stay tuned for that. On the equipment side, I'm thinking of maybe changing the lights on the tank to something that offers more controllability and full spectrum, currently thinking about getting either radion pros or the new hydra 52s but have to read more before I make the final decision. Will update you all in the coming weeks.

I'm considering the hydra 52s as well... Which ones are you leaning towards... I like the amount or light with the 52s

Hello everyone, it's been a while but I'm finally back to update the thread more regularly. A lot has changed in the tank over the past few weeks including the addition of five new corals and four new fish. Below you will find the most up to date tank shots...

Final Pictures for the Day...
Well, I'll leave you all with a question to ponder. Birthday is coming up and I can either get one of two things and I'd like your opinion on what I should buy... One, I can get an Apex Controller with almost all the expansion modules I would need, or Two, I can get a new set of lights for the tank (either Radions or Hydra 52s).

Wow, 3 posts in a row ;-). Awesome shots! My vote is selfish, lol. I would like to see Radeons on your tank since I am fence sitting on the SR-60 or SR-80 
. Either way it is nice to see your update to this thread.

I just got my SR-80 and the leveling foam between the tank and the stand does not extend tot the edge of the aquarium. It is about a 1/2" short on both sides. Is yours like this?
I would think it would put extra pressure on the unsupport portion of the aquarium. Innovative Marine said this is normal. Honestly, I think they messed it up. I'm just curious as to how yours looks?
