I have to say, that is one nice looking tank.....:biggrin:

All to often I see tanks just plugged with live rock, personally I don't care for the look of live rock at the best of times but know we need it in our tanks.

One piece of advice, "Don't add anymore rock". What you have just looks perfect and balanced to me.

Nice work....:biggrin:

You did a great job on bending it to shape!

I have it quite "tight" so that I don't think a large fish could push it up. It sits wedged just under the light bracket so it's not sitting ontop lightly but set in abit (if that makes any sense):neutral:. The only thing getting through this one would be a small fish possibly like a dartfish or something. (Atleast I hope!!):surprise:

Thanks everyone for the comments!

My doctor tang went right through the netting, as in put a hole in it.

looks good. did you diy the top with eggcrate?

i found some silver clolored eggcrate in town and was wondering if it would help reflect light back down rather than absorb it like the white or black.

The top is a bird netting from home Depot. CHEAP! It is perfect as it does not affect the amount of light passing through AT ALL! Squares are about 1" so tiny fish could get through. The eggcrate really cuts the lighting in my opinion and while I have not tried the metal eggcrate I think the thickness of it alone would be bothersome to me. Plus it would be tough with the salt I would think it will become corroded fairly quickly but...it would be easier than assembling the mesh top.
:wink:
