Looks good, how many gallons is that?
You might want to be careful with the sand, you've got it set pretty deep...you'll either need to be really dilligent about stirring it or maybe lower it some. I really like the sand and rock look though

40 gallons?! That's awesome! Those hexes are expensive too, you got one heck of a deal there! 
I think the general consensus on sand is around 2" deep. Someone either back me up or correct me if I'm wrong...

Congrats!
You got a GREAT deal!
Hexs are not cheap, and that stand is very expensive too.

I bet the stand costs the same or more than the tank.
