New Tank build 90"x48"x36"high

[Kevaldo]

Hi all, i recently had my dream tank built, its 90"x48"x36"high made using 19mm glass. The tank was made by a friend and the hood was made by Les at Coral Aquariums in Maghull.
the filtration is a 18" Lacron sand filter and a 18000s Sequence pump in a small shed outside with a load of insulation.
here's the pic's, bloody loads of them

Maybe I missed it. But why no stand to bring it to eye level??

i wanted it down low, its at the back of the sitting room so when you sit on the couch at the other end of the room its at perfect eye level, also ive got a giant beanbag to sit on infront of it. as you can see from the pic's there is a window behind it so i didnt want it blocking any of it

Looks sweet.
Can you still siphon from the bottom effectively?
