Dimensions are 24x24x18.
The overflow background is about 5 inches from the back, so the actual display dimensions are 19x24x18.

Haven't updated this thread for 2 months.
Here is what my tank looks like now.

Moved many corals from y 75G to it and also bought some new ones.
I've lost the blue tang during the 2 weeks I was away in April.
Last weekend got myself a blue spotted jawfish.
I am loving this little guy. So actively burrowing the sand, stacking rubbles to make his home.

Thanks guys. I do like look of the bluer light. But it may not bring out some color spectrum too well.
I like how the stand looks now too. It is actually the same stand as before but I added the panels to enclose the stand. I'll be building a small stand next to it to hide the calcium reactor as well.

Very cool background idea! Too bad something is damaging it though. I was going to make one of those for a cichlid tank I had back in...oh a long time ago anyway! But, I never did get around to it since I was scared about it getting damaged. Oh, and I'm lazy when it comes to DIY.

is that a Vortech mp20 or 40? I have a tank with the same dimensions and was wondering which one to go for.

Tank looks awesome!

ya, still don't know what is damaging it. I am a bit worried about something leach out.

Added 4 blue eye cardinals and a fairy wrasse.

I also added some new corals today.
The tank is officially full, both fish and corals

Looking really great! I love your fish selection. I had BS Cardinals but they hid behind my rock work all day in my tank until the pump went in to night mode so I guess my flow is too strong for them. How are yours doing.....out and about all the time?
