Let me start with a review of the aquarium. Beautiful aquarium but will need some modifications. For your filter system, no hang on back (HOB) filter will fit the lid, neither will the hoses for an under-tank filter. And if you intend to run a protein skimmer, you'll need to further modify the lid. I used a Dremel multi-tool with a cutoff bit as well as a rafter square to keep my cuts straight. The base is pretty nice looking and was easy to assemble. But, it does not come with a shelf. I added one by drilling four holes for shelf pegs and cut a shelf out of particle board. I guess if you're an aquarist none of this will be new to you. All in all, I would recommend this aquarium. Now, why did I give it one star? It took Amazon five delivery attempts (both UPS and FedEx) and I got five broken aquariums, all sent back. Of course this was over the course of a couple of months. Finally, I asked Amazon for a refund (which they gladly gave me), and decided to pay the extra couple hundred bucks and ordered one from petco dot com. I received that order in less than a week and was palletized, wrapped, and protected. Got the aquarium unbroken first try. To sum it up, very nice aquarium but be prepared to do some modifications, and order it from someone other than Amazon.

Bought this item expecting the stand to come with it. Received tank, the box said 1 of 2 boxes do not separate, part of a set. But never received stand. Never got two tracking numbers or any info on the stand. Had a nick in the top of the tank not a big deal but really need something to put it on.

I love this thing. Did not come with base directions but it was easy enough for me to get them emailed to me from Penn Plax. Put the base together with the door upside down. My Bad. Still looks fine and the tank itself it looks awesome.
