    i think for now i will go with canister and inter filters and see how it goes. going 2 run 2x 54w t5 fluorescent bulbs and a 200w and 300w jager heaters shoud be okey with that.
    and i am going with pool filter sand.

    Looks good,you might want to scrape off the paint and respray it black again.Can looks real nice if you get some new wood to cover up the sides and make maybe 4 cabinet spaces if you aren't going to use it for a sump that is.

    Are the feet adjustable? Check that the stand is level and that all the horizontal bars are level to each other.

    Also, this stand is for a 700l tank so you have about 800-900kg resting on your floor. Maybe put base plates under each foot or one plank across the front and one across the back to spread the load. The single feet could punch into your floor.

    Cool man. Rather check it now and have it remade if required than put your tank on it and problems later...
