Other than the small little blemish from delivery, how does the stand look, is it decent quality?Material, hinges etc...? That set up is exactly what i plan on getting. I live three hours from SCA so I plan on picking it up myself, from that video I definitely don't trust these shipping companies. Would you mind sharing some more pics of the cabinet, I appreciate it.

Well Ill start with overall I do like the system. But there are things that I wish where Better. The Hinges are OK. Nothing Special in my Opinion. They do keep the doors closed. They seemed to use Staples, and Some kind of Glue to Hold the Tank Together. I usually DIY my Stands, so I like to Use Wood Screws, lol. But The Stand is pretty Nice.
I did see a video on the SC Aquariums Group where someones Reef was Actually Leaking. The Stand Spilt Too. But he did get a new system, I dont know if they paid for his wood floors. Hes on here on R2R. But Ill get you some Pics. The wood itself is kinda soft, as far as the doors. My Buddy dropped some live rock and it made a little mark. No Biggie.
Standy By for Pics...

Like I said Nothing Fancy. You can See the Staples Behind the Protein Skimmer. I do like the holes in the stand so you can snake in your cords. Overall it feels Solid. But the Sump Comes in the Stand, takes up the entire stand. Could be a problem, But I dont mind. I did remove the sump in order to Flip it around the way I wanted it. I like My Drains off to the left and return on the right. I thought I could just leave it like it was shipped, But No, It Bugged Me

Unfortunately a lot of your pics didn’t load. Is there a center brace in front or is it wide open?

Really I think a DIY stand would be nice. Also SCA Does the 150g on sale from time to time, with the tank only. If you do decide to go with the 150g make sure they give you free Lift Gate, and Overflow Lid. I also heard that they can give you a Durso instead of the regular Pipes. Wish I would of known that, even though I had everything on hand to make it.

I Got the RP-M Pump Going on in the 150g, I love how Sleek It is. The Battery Back up is a really nice feature. You can hook up those battery Banks used to charge a cell phone right up. Very Niceeee @Reef Breeders

As Far as he 150g, Ive basically let it do its thing. Ive got a few new Corals in the Tank, and I am letting things grow out. Its been a really Nice Tank. I started Dosing some 2-Part to keep things as Stable as Possible. Id like to get into SPS, So keeping things Stable would be a nice start. My ALK has been sitting at 7DKH, Id like to get it in the 8's. So Ive hooked up my Doser.
