Beautiful, after this as of now i just got a new coral! its a great first tank and i hope to get another 20 gal. tank soon that i can plumb up to it! its a lot of work but great fun!

I just bought one with a stand also. I paid about $450 at Natural Life in Sunnyvale, I see you live in Redwood City.....where did you buy yours?
