loving the setup, wish i could do mine as reef. What are the dimensions of the tank?

Hey everyone, im new here and just wanted to share my tank. Everything's getting moved over to my 165 hopefully this weekend.

cool little trigger, he looks just like mine

4 days later : Set the stand on level ground and put the tank up on it. Filled it up and it looks good with no leaks so far. Will take some pics tomorrow.

Small update, since ive run out of things to do. Taped up the tank and put a coat of flat black on for the background. I want to seal this puppy up, but i have to find out on the curing process with temperatures being below freezing at night.
