Doug! I found it! The tank looks great. I like the PVC tube idea. Just wondering, are clowns more likely to lay eggs on a smoother surface (ie. PVC) than bare rock??
Also how is the aragonite coated bottom faring? Christy

i may have mis read, but you said your tanks was 4' high. I thought u had to have min 3/4" glass for a tank that high??? arent you worried about the glass breaking???
i dont know alot about engineering and glass but i have been contemplating making a tank that high. just curious. Richard

Christy, Thats part of the reason I went back to a larger tank. Larger fishies and ones with some personality.
 Yep, patience Ruth. I tried to do that this time also and if I would have stuck with the plan, the starfire may not have been scratched.  Richard, the tank is only 2ft. high. Its 4ft.L by 3ft.W. Plus I have two braces on it. Normally a tank this size would be fine with the 1/2in. glass and a single center brace, as two halides would be normally used over the 4ft. But then I,m not normal.  A previous 30in. high tank used 5/8th. glass. Not sure what I would use on something 4ft. H. Depends on the other measures. It would require decent bracing, IMO. Thanks Chris. I look forward to its growth also. But we were discussing moving again, yesterday. I plan on adding some new sps corals, to see how they do under the single 400w Iwasaki.
