Ya, I suck at wood too LOL.

HAHAHA! Well, a plunge router would be MUCH more useful if I had a router table! Funny thing is that I used a hammer and chisel in the places where the router wouldn't fit, and although it took a lot more work, it looks just the same!

Stand looks good, have you considered sealing up the back as well? It'll cut down on noise can keep the wall behind clean.

No, I haven't. There will be a light over the fuge, so my thinking was to keep the back open for heat escape. Keeping the wall clean would be nice though...

So, I'm thinking I will do a small 2-way closed loop on this tank for three reasons; so I can hopefully eliminate most if not all powerheads, T the pump outlet for an easy water change system like superduperwesman did in his nano contest tank, and I can use a 2-way to create a wavebox sort of action I'm hoping. This way I can get away with probably just using one VorTech (later on down the road when I feel rich again), or maybe I will be happy just using a couple Koralia 4's or some such thing. So...any input on how many gph I should run my closed loop? Remember I keep LPS only, although I will add a few SPS to the 90 (I think).

Picked up a bottle of ZEOvit Sponge Power, which I dosed for 6 months, but ran out about 2 months ago. Will be dosing it 3 drops 3x per week.

Bought a couple Zoa frags today too. The orange ones are actually more peachy looking in person.

Good news and bad news about the Jawfish. Good news is that the 4th one showed up, and moved in with the 1st one in the big burrow. The 2nd one is still kicked out of the burrow.

All three are eating. Unfortunately, the 3rd one with the injured jaw has passed on.

I am highly a fan of your "less rock in tank" look. I like seeing a lot of open water in aquariums and wait for the corals to do their job and grow into the water column. Nice.
