How tall do you plan on going with the stand? I'm not looking to dissuade you but those 3" on the tank height will make a big difference. I bought a 300 that was 30" tall and the stand was kinda tall too and I ended up selling it off right away because it was just too **** big. I was on carpet and it was kind of wobbly (when empty) and that scared me (especially with little ones running around). When I was planning on getting it Emac said to me, "A 300 ain't no joke!" and he was right. I would have had to be on a ladder to do anything with the tank and if anything needs to be done on the bottom, you're reaching WAY down.
Just things to think about in your planning stage!
