so here is a pic of what i want to build for my tank here.
i have redesigned it and made it differant in so many ways from my original idea so here it is.

please comment if you find anything wrong. i know the drawing is crappy but it looks way better on paper.
the main porpose of the angled front pane is for photography and visual of the corals

I'm pretty sure the top edge of the tank closest to me when looking at ur drawing has some issues? I think it carries to the wrong spot?

what do you mean wes? the only open part of the tank is the very top where the overflow is and up to where the angled part starts. the whole angled pane is enclosed. it will give you better visual without any distortion

haha thats awesome. that was the original design but i switched it up soo many times that i ended up just building an acrylicic set up which has blown apart so i fixed it and gave it to my gf for her little turtle. i am now using a 15g standerd tank with 4x39w lighting. it works pretty damn good i think. and i have not done a water change in 4 moonths and havent dosed anything but a bit of calcium and alk buffer.

greg ill have a fts in a day or two just put up pics that i had on my comp at the moment.

Took me a minute to see it as well. Here's a layout that a sketched really quick on paint. It's not good, but you'll see from his diagram what you missed:
