    Here's mine. Disregard the crack, it was there before I drilled the tank figured what do I got to lose when I went to drill it. Still don't know what caused the crack though when it was set up originally completely stock on stock stand.

    It might not be the case but I have a regular 29 gallon with the Glass-holes overflow box (con dientes) with a Mag Drive 3 (about 300gph) for the return. Dont have a lot of corals, but they look happy :)

    Here is the link about it. Hope it helps a bit.
