I think. I bought the tank 2 years ago and the stand a few weeks ago. I was using a table I crafted out of an old sewing machine base for awhile. I didn't trust this on the laminate flooring we just put in so that's why I bought the stand.
It's a very good deal and a very well made tank.
The filter is a Rena Filstar XP2. It works well. Really well. I don't even have any filter floss in there. If you can believe it, I haven't filtered the gravel in a month and a half.
The only problem with the tank is the top lip is so wide that it's difficult to find a hang on back filter, so you're forced to go internal (yuck) or pay more for a canister. Not really a big deal for freshwater since canisters are much better. Better filtering and easier to maintain.
