93 gal build with custom peninsula stand

This is my first post to RC so I'll work on this post as I figure things out. I've had many tanks over the years from 220gal down to 55 gal and I'm currently upgrading from my current 54 gal to a 93 cube. The 93 measures 30"x30"x24" and it's suppose to be ready for pick up this weekend. I'm having the shop do a custom Euro style rim around the top since the tank is rimless to prevent water splash and jumping fish. Currently I'm going to use a mix of dry base rock and existing live rock to do the aquascaping. My goal is to go with a very minimalist style and get back into more sps. So far the stand is almost finished and the new quiet drive 40 has come in, just waiting on the second one. This weekend will consist of breaking down the old tank and moving the peninsula stand into place. My whole goal was to create a built in look without physically attaching things to the wall or floors so when I move I don't have to fix a bunch of things. I will be running an eheim 1262 pump, eshopps protein skimmer, as well as (1) 250w 14k with 4 T5's. Once I figure out why my phone won't upload the pictures I attach some to show the progress.
