Coralgurls tank build 180 - it's ALIVE

The tank is in the office/dining room, no doors. I covered the floor around the tank but didn't notice the dust till I went to bed. Had the window open but still gave everyone headaches....

Here's a question...to look at the tank, I can't see through it, but when a light is held behind it, I can a bit. Will this matter when the lights are hung?

I think that's very unlikely. It will be somewhat darkish/shaded behind the tank so my guess is you won't notice.

Perfect, thanks Brett!

Plumbing started yesterday, few issues (main overflow into sump too short, emergency drain too long). Otherwise, thoughts?

Not sure if anyone noticed this or commented, but no foam under the tank? Is there a reason? I thought it was always recommended in order to remove possible stress points. Same would go for the sump also, if there is no foam.

Depends on how the black plastic trim is. If its flush to the bottom, then I would say yes. If it has that gap underneath, then no.

Yeah I think her base is trimmed in Plastic.
