Daniel has the hood and i think he said free to whoever buys the stand. yes you might just have to brace the stand where the tank will sit and it would give you 6" extra on each side. I have a 40 breeder now and it would work nicely.
Or put it on one side of the stand and leave 12" on the other side. I think we will take it, just have to confirm with the wife and find a way to get it to my place down south Denver.
