Someday we have to meet; it's a shame to be this close and not know a fellow reefer.

Kudos!

I will let the owner post the other details as I am sure he will do a build thread.

So that is to say the inside of the stand can't be used for sumps, topoff, etc due to space constraints? Or am I missing something --
 
The x brace runs from corner to corner under the bottom of the cabinet. That stand is actually 3 pcs that stack to facilitate egress thru 2/6 doors

Yeah I think so. So the x-brace does not allow much to be stored underneath the tank/behind the doors right? Like a sump?

The way I'm understanding you, the x-brace would leave four triangular sized areas for storage underneath the stand, roughly 1/4th the size of the stand's footprint each. Right?

No the x brace sits on the floor and then the cabinet sits on top of it The inside of the stand is open just like a conventional stand.
