Thank You Kien! Although its not the high $$$$ stuff its definatly a great middle ground for me and so far I couldnt be happier. Just hope that someday I can make this thing look half as good as your 150 :biggrin:

Like to aqua scape.

Any plans yet as to stocking or pewpewing

Thak You! Well for fish I have only really decided on a couple of things, 5or6 blueégreen chromis, a harem of lyretail anthias, a pair of tomato clowns, some wrasses (undecided) I would love a red stripe or a half black angel but maybe Ill save that fish for a future FOWLR tank. Pretty generic fish list.

For coral Ill be mainly focusing on sps, zoanthids, and a couple focal point LPS. But the main coral population will be sps.

Thanks Grizz! I only wish I had room to put one on the other side of the tank to house ATO, media reactors and future dosing pumps and containers.

Like many said already, super clean and planned out. I like the idea of having the overflow on the side and not the back for your tank placement situation.

Thank You Long! When I started thinking of how I wanted the tank I seen a couple tanks that had this same placement and I instantly switched it from having it external on the back pane. It allowed me to go the full 24" front to back. Also it will allow me to situate it as a peninsula tank if I ever choose to. I really like the look of seeing the wall behind the tank with no cords or mess really gives it alot more depth as apposed to having the back pane blacked out. But to each there own.

Great dimensions - the same as my new tank! :D Mine is 24" high and 20" wide though.

I like what you did with the sitting bench! I was going to build a cabinet to sit beside my new tank, but you have me thinking of other ideas now too.
