Well I found this sweet deal on craiglist for a 170 gallon acrylic tank and stand. I will be picking it up in a few weeks. The tank is in great shape but the stands need a little work to fit my new sump i got from tony . The dememsion of the tan are 68x24x24. Here are a few pictures of it. I will post more when I get the tanks.

I'm still deciding on to go bare bottom or use the sand i got. So i'm going to try it first with a painted bottom with accent stome spray paint and see how it goes. If i change my mind i can always add the sand after. This is the first coat . I will add another tomorrow..

So here are some pictures they are not the best this tank needs a lot of work still enjoy.
