Let me see your Standard 120g ROOM SHOT (FULL TANK/STAND/CANOPY)

Please state the height of the stand and canopy also.

I am in the process of setting up a tank again and trying to decide between a 90 and a 120. I am picky about the visual ratio of the stand:tank:canopy, I don't like when the stand and canopy are too big and the tank looks squashed in the middle. I know I will be putting the tank on a taller stand (30" ish) and I need a tallish canopy to house my halide lights. I've had a 90 before and I liked the ratio it had on a tall stand, but I'm worried the shorter 120 will look funny between a tall stand and tall canopy.

Thanks!

EDIT: Well, shortly after posting I was looking at tank sizes and it looks like the 120 is the same height as a 90? I always thought it was a wider 75 not a wider 90, but I guess I was wrong. So it looks like I don't have a lot to worry about. Oh well, still post so I can get ideas for my setup.
