    i am super syched, took down my 34g redseamax 130d and upgraded to this corner tank.

    didn't know if i would like the blue painted sides, but my wife and i love it. Suggests a great deal of depth...

    anyhow, i put a lot of thought into my aquascape so if you have any opinions to offer please feel free to share. i like it, but im open to feedback. it's our first time being able to get away from the pile of rocks against the back glass.

    I think it's great. Less is more.
    Only problem I see is the lack of a shelf near the top for light hungry corals if there is a need.

    agreed. as of now, there is no need, and my new light will have 90degree optics, whereas i have always used bare led's... so i expect i'll be now with my slightly deeper tank where i was before with weaker lights.

    i couldn't get the right "pile" taller while still being stable, and i like how it's flat across the top. i really want to keep the side as empty as i can both for cleaning and "foreverness"

    Nicely done! I like the "spaceousness" (is that even a word?) of it.

    looks nice. You have plenty of room for corals to grow-out...especially if you decide to go with SPS
