    So I ordered my new tank an stand a few weeks ago and its finally here. Its a Lee Mar 60 gallon(48x16x17") diamond edge glass, with drilled overflow and return. I had the holes drilled in the upper corners on the back wall, mainly because the tank is only 16 inches wide so if I had them drilled on the bottom then I would of had to have and overflow box and that would just take up more space. I also got my mag 7 return pump and reef octopus nw-150 protein skimmer, I over did it with the skimmer but I got a good discount so I figured, why not? Im bringing the stand up this afternoon so I will get some more pictures up with the tank on the stand and sump and skimmer underneath. I wanted to go with a 120 gallon but I plan on using my 40 gallon to have some rbta and a pair of black and white ocellaris clowns, or if I can find some ora black ice snowflake clowns Id get thoes, so I figured it would be easier to keep it smaller if Ill be maintaining 2 tanks

    Also, where did you get your skimmer? That's the same one I plan on using. Would you mind mentioning how much you paid for it?
