Personally I would not have one. I use to want one but after hearing from and seeing others that have owned them, I have changed my mind.
cleaning the glass i figured would be hard but as for a top i imagine a handy fellow cold make a suspended lid mounted to the stand perhaps


great feedback thanks

Powerheads could be a possible issue as well, if one so choosed to add a little more flow.

well apparently with their new 3 sided version one side stays completely dry so one could add a vortech or some other powerheads or even install the tank as a penninsula.

Powerheads are a problem beacuse it will push the water you want have even water pouring out of the tank.

In other words its useless in a reef aquaria.

As soon as you add flow, you dont get an even level of water overflowing the tank.

Cant really explain what i mean, Someone else might be able to explain it better.
