    Thanks for all the kind words. I wish you could see the tank in person, the pic does not give it justice. For some reason the coral plus bulbs are particularly difficult to take a picture of without it looking too "blue" or too dark. But it looks great in person and would say the combination is a very cool blue similar to a 20k halide.

    Thanks, I decided not to do a full coast to coast for two reasons. One, I did not want to have to go over the weir with the loc-line and two, I did not want another silicon seam visible on the side panes. It's very difficult to get silicone to be perfectly straight.

    I try to move it around and position it depending on flow by watching my coral. Some people would position their corals depending on where the flow is, but i had particular locations picked out for my coral so I positioned the flow around the coral. General powerhead placement would be center of the side glass, pointed towards the center of the front glass. And adjust from there.

    Awesome looking tank. Love it. I know what you mean on the partial coast to coast. I did a full on my 65g and ran the returns through the overflow box and out the front, and it was a total pita assembling it all. If I were to do it again I would do it just like yours.

    Beautiful setup, Blue Falcon. Congrats on the upgrade. Love your scape and selection of corals. BTW, I'm particularly fond of the Coral Plus bulbs, myself. :)
