great build!

question about the light mount...
do you think there would be a way to make the height adjustable on the fly?
moving the arm up and down...
some sort of sliding mechanism, manual or remote?

I like the idea for lighting a peninsula tank, but would need it adjustable for access and maintenance.

Sure could. I almost went that route.. i was going to use linear bearings and a 12v linear actuator to raise and lower it with a button.. but after installing it was able to get all my rock in and move around with out the light being an issue so in ever bothers

Tonight I almost finished off my DIY Kalk stirrer.... Now I just need my magnetic stir bar to show up in the mail..

Cool build and really thought out sump layout. May I suggest a screen net for those nice anthais, they tend to carpet surf a lot.

Thanks bblinks. Ironically the anthias have been out and about but hide under rocks a lot. I did buy the parts for a screen top but am still unsure if I want to use one (I just love the open top look). But I guess I should build it and see how it looks

I scored an urchin and 2 new star fish today!
