LOVE it. I ran one of these as my second tank after my starter 55gal. They are very fun to play with, and I felt they give the fish more room to swim around.
What are your plans with it?
For what its worth, here is a pic of mine:

I had a bowfront for my first reef tank...though I liked it, the only thing I grew to regret was that the depth of the tank decreased greatly as you got to the sides of the tank. That is a pretty chic' looking stand and canopy.

My plan is some fish ...maybe three and the rest corals. Still learning names. the above pick looks about right (nice by the way). I had a discussion with my wife this morning about an idea to have a center column of rock (thin) covering the drain , like a half cylinder shape of the tank in the middle. I think my idea falls into keep it away from the glass so I can have very small island rocks here and there. Keeping it simple and ad the right colors and compatible neighbors.

Thank you.
The following picture was provided too me from another owner of this unique tank. The challenge I face recently was finding a sump that would meet my requirement AND fit bellow. I ended up getting a 30X14X16 AquaticReefSystems RU3 used for 75 Dollars. Does it fit right in? No...I will have to take off the center stand brace and drop it in and then re assemble. The Sump is a 3 chamber ,double baffle on both dividers. It is a refugium style with two drain Bulks and a exterior Skimmer Bulk and return (not going to use ext. Skimmer).
The process is a bit over whelming. Maintaining the urge to jump in is helping me save Many hundreds of Dollars. The one thing I am going to have to buy new is the Reef Octopus 1000sss Skimmer. They are never ever for sale used...I wonder why
. That will be later as I wait for the tank to cycle for a few months while I creeeeep into adding very slowly the moving and growing toys. Reactor and sulfur denitrator , dosers...blah blah ...still learning whens and whys. But
...This picture is the biggest why :)

For what its worth, I ran the MegaFlow sump in mine and was able to get it in without taking out the center brace. If you were any closer I'd have just given you the thing, haha.
Can't wait to see it come together
