Got any pics of the lights?
Yeah not getting those annoying bubbles is key to this tank, although I still get a few from time to time but they are easily removed with regular cleaning. However I think the best feature gained by adding the sump and overflow is that the tank doesn't overflow when you put your hand in it, the stock tank is pretty freaking stupid for this reason.

I'll post a pic of the light fixture tonight.

Nice tank! Great corals. ;-) Is that a bit of blue cloves you got from me? Looks like it, the cloves are ok but it has that weedy caulerpa on it too. I would pull that out immediately and toss it in the trash. You do not want that particular weed in this small tank. Only a foxface or something big will mow that weed down and it will fill your tank up. Unless of course it runs out of food or iron perhaps? To be safe I would pull it.

I should be able to give you a bit of cloves sans weeds if you like.

Yeah I was thinking about doing that, if you have some more that would be great. Let me know.
Thanks

I went and looked in the display and I am sure I can get you a clean hunk of cloves. Later in the week or on the weekend I will be around.
