36 x 36 x 36 cube with a twist

[mark0933]

Well, some of you know I have a 700G reef tank, well now I am at it again...
I had a new "vision" tell me what you guys think please.

I have an open concept living room with a large 12ft ceiling, and a large south facing window that lets a tonne of light into the room.

I don't have a green thumb at all, but I love the look of a mangrove.

I picture this:

The new tank on a very low stand (like 18" tall stand) with an open top, with the mangrove (artificial) "growing" out of the tank. I am contemplating going with no supplemental light, only indirect light from outside, but we'll see about how that looks and might add some LED lighting

Here is the wall, I think I'd center the tank on the wall and remove the chair


Here is the tank (picked it up yesterday) - is 36 x 36 x 36 cube


Here is what I have found for a tree (picture its roots inside the tank and the foliage standing about 4ft round above the tank so the top of the tree would be about 9' tall from the floor)


In the tank, I am thinking of going potbelly seahorses and bangii cardinals
