Hi Jamie,
Really liking your stand and also your strategy for keeping the wife happy.... sound philosophy! We also have a 210g reef (Oceanic, 7' x 2' x 2'), although only a few SPS in it, but you are welcome to come by and look at it and discuss equipment choices, etc. if that appeals to you. We are using Vortech MP40s on it and the 3/4" glass has not been an issue. Just send Mike (my husband) a PM if you would like to arrange a time to come by.
