Keeping the ehiem 2260 and fx5 on it ....fx6 will be moved to the 270 gallon once I set up my drip system and add my sump with laguna max flo 2400 pump ...

The sump will have plenty of bio media for when I add more fish down the line and I can increase the drip if necessary :)

Which brings up the question, when they drop off the pentair, do they drop it off in ur driveway? Or do they make you take it off the truck?

Also thoughts on painting the outside of the fiberglass black if my stand is black.

The courier service that dropped mine off helped move it into the drive way with just me and him... The dolley wasn't big enough to move it it came on a 10x5x4 container. The tank only 300 lbs front glass side is twice as heavy as the rear. We took it out of the container and just walked it up the driveways.
 
I am going to use pond armor on the inside of the tank to change the color to black. It should also work on the outside.

The freight driver will help you unload it off the truck and they might help u carry it inside depending on how nice they are

I wanted to change it to black as well but I would be skeptical of the pond armour chipping over time which would make it look horrible
 
Scratches aren't terrible but unexceptable Imo for a brand new tank. I think it was installed from the factory that way due to it being on the inside glass.
