Go to Petsmart or ***** and buy a stand for the 75g. Or go to that list that Craig handles and search for some stand steals.
As far as the deal you got...pretty damn good. IMO, I would setup your 38g and the 75. Put an undulated in the 75 and maybe something else. In the 38g, I would put in some frogfish...I was tempted to buy 2 black ones for my nano but couldnt stomache 300 for both.

you got a good deal as long as the tank doesnt leak. As said above get you an undulated trigger . Perfect for that tank and will satisfy your BLOOD lust .
not rare but evil none the less .

They are not as common due to the fact that they are real A holes . Only the keeper that wants to see true carnage keeps them. If you want to have something that is truely more rare . Go for a some kind of frog fish . Not the most active . Or you could go for a larger mantis . YES I KNOW YOUR TANK IS GLASS . But there are there are ways around that . You could get a spearer. Or there are spieces of mantis that are a lot less likely to strike the glass . you can cut a sheet of acrylic (avalible at homedepot)to cover the bottom of the tank so when they are burrowing the are hitting the acrylic instead of the glass .

Dont get discouraged . Stop take a breath and realize not all is hopless . One thing about SW is you must have patientce or you will not make it long . best idea is to look around the web figure out what you want to keep and then plan a tank around it . Not get a tank and then try to figure out what rare fish you can put in it . One thing about fish that are not kept is there is a reason .Mostly because they need special care . Dont get discouraged for now get your tank set up and get you a dwarf lion . Nice looking fish in my opinion and can be quiet fun . Add a small angel and enjoy it while you get used to aggresive fish and save for a larger tank.

Haha youre just the tank dealer huh. 100 gallon would open up more doors as well. Despite killers, you might be able to keep a tang or two in a 100, which would be very colorful and active.

In a 100 gallon tank you could do a lot more !
You could easily have two or three triggers a Dog face puffer a tang of sorts yellow , purple or even a black if you wanna go more rare, and an eel . Thats what I had in my 125 . I tried to add a 4th trigger and that was too much it started a war got rid of #4 and life went back to normal. Just remember bigger tank needs better filtration too .

I mean bigger filtration . Sorry it won't let me edit that post .
Make a list of the fish you want and prioritize it . Then we can help you better . but with the 100 your options are a lot bigger .

- a handful of assorted damsels as food for the killers

What kind of trigger ? If your looking for blood to be spilled an undulated is top notch choice for the 100 . you could go with either a snow flake or a zebra eel .
