Ya, that trimless look is real nice, eh? Seriously though, it does provide a nice, clean look. I am a fan of it, and my own tank would have been trimless, but my Jawfish harem plans needed a lid!

Thanks Mindy...

PBrT is still a for sure.. Convict I REALLY REALLY want.. but I'll have to see what I add before the tangs go in.. I am on the look out for a Pair of Zebra Angelfish, they are quite sharp. Also a Pacific Redstripe Hogfish (currently on hold at RC). Sunburst Anthias perhaps instead of my previous choice. So not doing the BEST job at sticking to my plans, but that's usually how it happens!

Love the tank... the shallow is a must from now on.. haha.. wish it was 30" wide instead of 24" though......... But that's for another time..

Top Down won't look all that hot till I get all my lighting, or even just a 2nd MH up and going. So I will be waiting before taking any... I'll do is as a before and after..

This tank was done with 1/2" glass... If it was much taller I would have gone 5/8s to 3/4"..

Yea, I'm pretty sure I will be going 3x250W Lumenmax Elites, Galaxy Ballasts, and Phoenix 14K bulbs.

I'll see if I can get some pics this weekend. I have only had a 2 glimpses of my McCoskers Wrasse since adding him.... Once last night when he shot straight vertical out of the water about 2ft into the air infront of my face That was a serious WTF moment, and I realized I just bought a fish and rolled the dice!! 2nd time was tonight when I my 6line harassing him, but now he is back hiding..

I will get some pics of the corals, they are doing awesome after the transfer, most barely lost any color...

Shoulda got rid of the sixline when ya had the chance!
Rolled the dice for sure. Maybe you need to set a sixline trap!
