I highly recommend you take a look under the floor of the cabinet and make sure there is adequate support for the sump. Many times, large cabinets settle over time, and I have seen the floors of very expensive stands break down under the weight of even modest (65 gallon) sumps. If the floor doesn't have cross bracing, you should add it. Also, if the tank is really wide, you might put an adjustable foot (from Rockler in Cambridge) or a shimmed foot under the middle of the floor. these cabinet makers do not engineer their cabinets for large sumps.

alright so..most of u guys might ask....how do i introduce a new tang into a tank full of tangs.....what i do is "the mirror trick"....i dont knnow how common this is but i was reading a thread on tangs and tang behavior....soyou put a mirror in front of the glass....if possible from all angles..but i dot have another mirror so i used what i had and it works.....before introducing my achilles, i put the mirro so the other tangs would be destracted by there own image....while they are fighting with there reflection i introduced my achilles....... my other tangs payed no attention to my achilles for a little while.....though they did freak out when they saw such beautful fish... i did see a littl aggresion from 3 tangs, my sohal,purple and powder brown....once i saw this, i quickly threw in a rock clip with 2 sheets of nory and they glanced for it, i will be leaving the mirror on for a couple days to see how they act.
i did the same process when i add my sohal and she is fine with the other tangs.
