    Sweet, you got it. I've come across many deals on craigslist, but unfortunately its at the wrong time (no $) or someone beats me to it. Good luck, LEDs would def be the way to go just my .02...

    Yeah, the stand and canopy should be here in an hour or so and the live rock.. I gotta do some touch ups on the stand, then sand it all down, primer it, and paint it..

    I think a black matte finish would definetely look good, suttle, it would look good while not taking your eye away from the tank.
