    so i finally got the tank last night. it will work out perfect.
    today i have to trim the acrylic stand that the skimmer sits on about a inch. as you can see from the pic it doesnt fit the way i would like it to. i should get some baffles this weekend.

    so i got my baffles in. not as pretty as i thought i could do, but it will work. for the first time using silicone and doing baffles it came out half way decent. plus i got to make it to my own dimensions and i can say that i built it. im pretty stoked to get this thing up and running on sat.
    let me know what u think!;D
