3 feet to stare into on-end that's going to be RAD. The end view is hands down my fav and with that ehight it's really going to have an amazing presence.

How many SOL in total? Looks to be 3 but won't that be on the low side for coverage?

I have 4 eshine systems 3 watt CREE LED units. 2 are still on my current 120 gallon.

Gonna transition coral and rock over very slowly to avoid any die off.

read through this build last night, very nice! That is an awesome idea for a room divider! The only thing I don't like about this build at this point is the fact that there's no fish in the tank yet.

Hahaha. Soon. Just want it to cycle properly and build up a good amount of bacteria. Already have crabs in there.

This looks to be a VERY innovative way to build a drop-off tank!

I can't wait to see more pics!

Added 2 young black clowns, 2 azure damsels, and a GBTA along with 50 lbs of rock for the drop off.

Then added a 1350 GPH circulation pump to the area under the drop off to keep debris from building up there. I could have gone to 2000 GPH even.



More aquascaping and rock transfer this week.

I'll post more tomorrow. Tank is a mess of rock right now. No aquascaping yet. Just moving rock all over.
