Thats an incredibly nice stand. Good job on the sump as well. Where did you find a 55 gallon tank that could be drilled Is it a standard 55?

It's just a standard 55 gallon from pecto. I purchased a glass holes overflow box and drilled it myself. Worked like a charm. Quiet just like they say on their website. It's the 1500 gph box. Thank you for the kind words on the stand!!!
