I'm actually in the process of setting one up. I'll give you a crappy cell phone pic of it, that I took before I bought it. The only thing I've seen so far that would be handy. Is make sure it has enough filration holes. Mine only has two HoB cutouts, and 2 intake/return line holes.... So if I was to use 1 canister filter, my intake and return line would be very far apart.... So I recommend, getting it drilled as if, it was 2 seperate tanks, put together as one... So you have 4 holes for canister filters instead of 2.

This cost me 500 used.

Never had one, but I bet it would be cool imbedded in a corner wall

they're actually easier to move than you'd think. just stand it up like this L on a rolling system, roll it right in... then flop it over, to make the corner shape. then lift and put it on the stand. When I move mine from the shop.. I was like this is gonna be a pain. The owner, said, nah, just put it on it's end.. it's like carrying a 55g vertically. with just a long peice followin ya out the door.
 
i guess that doesn't sound so bad but i got small door ways in my house and i had to set my 125 up on end to get it around the corners and into the room its in now b/c i couldn't make the turn....

Got any better pics yet ?
