First of all - this is a low cost budget build - the Fluval Profile 1000 was used previously as a freshwater tank with discus.
Instead of buying a new tank, I will re-use my custom stand and adapt it for the Fluval Profile 1000.
Other than the tank and spare parts from Fluval - this is all DIY and Kijiji bargains. Previous DT is a 48x12x20 50gal with an overflow box (that I detest cleaning).
I have found Internet links to others that have done something similar, however, they all used the stock stand with modifications. My current stand has too much water damage.
Pics will follow!
