Hey Val, thanks for coming by to check it out, sorry it won't work for your situation.
I know a few others are planning to come check it out, and trying to get everyone lined up, but I wanted to post a few things that have come up when people look at the tank. One, the tank length is actually 61 1/8" from end to end of the acrylic stand.
Two, the stand is sleek and built like a fortress, but at the expense of access space that may be too limited for someone with elaborate needs for sumps / refugiums / dosing pumps / supply storage (as Val pointed out). The interior is 54" long x 15" deep x 24" high (due to acrylic structural struts) and the access door is 16 1/2" wide . There is no problem with access and/or working with sump/skimmer, and you could probably position everything to add one more station (such as dosing pumps), but you couldn't get too crazy and probably need to keep it clean in the stand (in other words, store your supplies in a closet). I got creative with the space limitation with a kitchen colander basket with macroalgae and fuge lighting directly in the sump, which worked fine, and otherwise had unused space as I didn't need anything more.
So there's more detail, hopefully that either saves you a trip to check it out or helps confirm it would work for you...
