I don't have any pictures currently, but I will snap some tonight. But I can try to describe it in words. Basically its just a internal overflow, 6 inches deep. In the middle of the overflow area, I had ask concept to throw in a box that is right behind the overflow glass. The box is the same height as the panels of the tank and right above the emergency overflow drain, therefore water free.

Thanks! I am still fiddling around with the camera, I find that as long as the shot is perpendicular to the glass it is easier to shoot. Hopefully I will get some more shots in the near future to document coral growth and coloration.

A small update, some more Reef Raft and SPS Pieces for the SPS fans, I am very happy that the colors are coming on. I think a couple more months and I will have something more substantial to show:

Strawberry Short Cake, it has been paling and losing color around the base ever since it touched my tank. It has stopped, I think my light is a little too much, hopefully it will recovered.



Fiji piece, it was completely brown, then completely bleached, now it has recovered somewhat:

RR Blue Peacock:
