I just picked up a 100g tank (5'x18dx24tall) for an awesome deal! It came with a stand and canopy but I'm going to sell those and diy some new ones. So, my question is, How would you set it up?
Would you drill it?
What size sump?
Skimmer? if so what kind and why?
What lighting would you choose?

I thought some of you could have some fun with this. The tank won't get wet until I move either end of december or just after the new year. I just don't want to set it up now just to have to move it so soon.
Lets here some ideas, links and pics would really help! I am on a budget so the cheaper the better, I do plan to purchase an mp40, if not right away sometime next year for sure.
Here's the tank:


Its older, I plan to sand and paint the "oak" trim black. I think lighting is going to be a challenge both because its a 5ft tank and because of that huge center brace. I wonder how well light will pass through it.
Thanks,

I painted my 'oak' 125 black, also.

Definitely drill it. Even if you just have a remote fuge under there, it's worth it. Get a glass-holes.com overflow, they're well worth the money. I used one on the 125.

As far as the livestock, you've got lots of options with that sized tank. Pick something that is your favorite and design everything else around it.
