In the picture the light doesn't look too bad, but I found this thread with pics of the whole setup. Nice looking tank, but they need to do something with that light. I wonder if you can buy the tank alone because I would!

I saw the tank in person at one of my lfs and the thing looks awesome IMO. The light looks super cool and the tanks rimless style is super cool as well. it was 750 bucks for everything. seemed like a reasonable deal.
well the thing finally came in on wednesday but apparently the stand was sold out so thats coming in on wednesday
he's getting an oceanic stand thats black with a tinted glas door in the front
and im gunna get the tank drilled for a sump and put a scwd in the back chamber
things are turning but without the stand, nothing can be done
tank is still at the store too, gunna get everything drilled at once
hes getting a 20" 150w sunpod for it, looks fairly decent
also gunna use black sand, his picasso clowns are already in my tank so theyre ready to move over in a month or so
only major thing left now is rock
pics will come once we get the stand
so far the tank is only 280 and the sunpod is 230 and the stand he said is really cheap, around 100
so for just that setup its gunna be around 650 after taxes and stuff so not bad, cheaper then the stuff that comes with it but nicer imo
then the picassos were 275 from carolina frags, thanks ex82nd
also bought the regular stuff from dfs: sand, some chemicals, pumps, misc stuff ~200
so far everything cost 1125 but hes starting from complete scratch

you dont really get it with the light, the sunpod would be sold seperately
my friend already has the sunpod for his and i know a couple of other people usin the 20" sunpod on theirs too, but any 20" lights would work

Looks nice i like it.
Just ran across a blog written by a guy who works at Current USA. He briefly discusses the Solana design in these two posts http://ikescurrent.blogspot.com/2007/11/solana-aquarium-wsunpod.html
and
http://ikescurrent.blogspot.com/2007/11/solana-pendants.html.
Tank looks great, but I am a little unsure of the light. Also, I don't really like that the door to the stand is see though. Would rather hide ugly aquarium tools behind an opaque door.

In comparison to the new 39 gallon Cadlight nano tank which tank would you think is a better nano tank.
