That's probably how I would do it. Have a more of a "traditional" reef set up on the shallow side with lots of open space for asthetics and then a sloping rock wall along the drop off to represent the edge of a natural reef dropping off into the open sea. Could maybe even have dimmer lighting over the deep end to enhance the effect even more.

I like your thinking...
Gunna need lots of adhesive to keep it all good and sturdy!

Wow Mike! Looking good buddy. I thought that you were saying that you have water in it already? Pictures don't refect that yet...?

How's the new pump... show up yet?

Just noticed that you picked up a reef keeper lite... did you find that used? If I end up shutting down I'll also have modules, probes, switches and such that I could seperate from my Reef Keeper Elite package for you if you like. Or you could buy the whole package and sell the lite!! lol

Nice looking build! Looks like you rubbed a few people the wrong way making comments about "fake" drop offs. I think the box in a box is a much safer design, I'm not sure I would trust that stress point in my house! I will happily watch your thread though! Hehe. Your pipes are noisy because of your drain design. Dual drains for Herbie overflow would be dead silent. I have Herbies one 3 tanks now, won't do it any other way.
