Looking good so far! What are the tank dimensions?

Thanks guys! Everything is finally coming together. I need to slightly mod the stand to fit the 135g sump and put all of the plumbing into place, let the silicone cure, and take care of a few other minor things. Then I can start the cycle and aquascape this beast.

Dimensions are 72L x 36D x 26H. The 72x36 footprint is insane. So much room to get creative there. I can't decide if I should migrate driftwood from my 180 or find some new pieces to work with. Manzanita is an invasive species in the woods behind the college where I work and go to school, so part of me just wants to lop off the best looking branches and do something entirely new. Its definitely going to be a planted tank.

As soon as this thing is running I'm planning on picking up a few choice polys that I've been holding off on buying for a long, long while. PBB, anyone?
