Since your tank is drilled, where do you plan on putting your sump/fuge? The bottom of your stand doesn't look like it will support one.

I don't think it's a window to the outside, either a mirror or an opening to another room I can't tell.

Brandon sorry for the miss understanding!
The stand is 36x18 rectangle all 4 corners are supporting my tank but in the middle there is a gap between the stand and the tank. seems like the support beam going across is bowed down.
The metal halides will be only for a shimmering effect because I enjoy that look. I will not be keeping any corals that would need any specific light.

fish store says they come bowed and once water goes into the tank it corrects itself.
Any feedback on this before I trust this bowed stand?
how much of a gap?
the weight of the water should straighten out the metal if the weight to the corners is distributed evenly. have you placed the tank in its spot and checked to see if its level?
i have hardwood floors, but i always put some water in (about an inch so i can measure depth at the corners) and shim the bottom of the stand where needed.
