nice build, the only thing I would have done different is bought spectral aluminum instead of polishing it my self. pollished aluminum while looking shiney only has a reflective index of 70 to 85% and will quickly corode again over the tank unless you put a lot of effort into keeping it shiney.
spectral aluminum has a reflective index of 92 to 99.7 depending on the quality and the reflective surface is actualy nickel which will not react with the salt air so it just takes a simple wipe once and a while to remove the salt creep.
