Make sure that wet/dry fits under the cabinet. _ I just set up the same tank, stand and lid, (mine is the cherry color tho), and if were to start over I would make my own filer set up. If your going to have a reef then id look into a refuim (sp) and protein skimmer and forget the wet/dry. I wish I would have! I will probally end up sellin my wet/dry to make roof for a refuim.

I also have bowfront, 72 or 75 i'm not exactly sure. I use two different size penguin/marineland powerheads at the two top far corners of my tank, current also comes from a retun and my fluval. it seems like there is enough currne tin my tank. Its hard to find a place where corals, clams with low current needs can be placed. good luck on you set up!
