Coralgurls tank build 180 - it's ALIVE

I think that's very unlikely. It will be somewhat darkish/shaded behind the tank so my guess is you won't notice.

Perfect, thanks Brett!

Plumbing started yesterday, few issues (main overflow into sump too short, emergency drain too long). Otherwise, thoughts?

Not sure if anyone noticed this or commented, but no foam under the tank? Is there a reason? I thought it was always recommended in order to remove possible stress points. Same would go for the sump also, if there is no foam.

Depends on how the black plastic trim is. If its flush to the bottom, then I would say yes. If it has that gap underneath, then no.

Yeah I think her base is trimmed in Plastic.

It is trimmed in plastic. I noticed last night that I could actually see a gap between the tank and the wood - hope that's ok. I had read someone's else's thread on the foam and with the trim its not needed.

There is foam under the sump, needs to be trimmed, but right now it covers the entire base of the stand.
