Yes the stand is designed to allow the tank to "float" almost like a pedestal. I grew tired of the traditional stand and was looking for something different. That said, there are many drawbacks. I will be hiding the sump in a small cabinet (that will sit to the right of the tank) so I had to go with a 24 gallon cube sump, and I will need to hide the plumbing carefully so that it isn't noticeable. That is why I created the backboard. The other cabinet in the picture will hold the electrical.

I think I went with schedule 80 elbows and schedule 40 colored pipe. I have to check. I did get everything from BRS on sale.

Yeah I was really nervous. I waited a year for this tank and it could have all ended in a few seconds.
Up next, I am going to start the plumbing and finish the sump cabinet. I'll post a few pics - it is nearly done. I waited on finalizing things as I just received a nice box from BRS. I'll also post a few pics of the goodies that just arrived later today.
