yeah it is huge lol
i ended up with an ASM-G4 skimmer
best band for the buck i guess it ran me $400
its 24" tall and 8.5" wide with a footprint of 11.5"x16"
i figured it should do the job

Kinda off topic but if you know some things about paranormal activity, that first pic has what looks to be an "orb". Thats the round circle in the base of the tank. But then again it could be a dust particle. If you look closely to the right of the tank youll see a few more. Look up orbs its kinda interesting. Sorry to go off topic just thought it was cool.

yeah can we add them to the HH thread

the stand is made of 2x4's doubled up on the legs with a 3/4" ply base for the tank and its cross barced with 2x4's and metal bracing brackets
heres a pic while i was makin it
oh i painted it white to seal it thats why it might look like PVC
