I don't know if this string is still live but I'm considering a Fijicube 81 and wonder how the tank stand has held up, and if you have any comments a few years further along.
I agree the Fiji 20 sump is only borderline adequate and I'm looking for an alternative. The Trigger 20 sounds like a good option.
I'm also new to Maryland and will look forward to getting active in the local community!
