    are you only doing corals or some fish too? gotta watch out with no cover and a water level that high if you do add fish.

    Corals for sure and maybe 1 fish. Haven't decided yet.

    Luckily, the scape isn't too high and the water level should be good (I hope). If I have to, I'll put a lid (or netting) on the top to prevent floor surfing :).

    If you can, a fish like a clown goby would be great because it would keep your beneficial bacteria populous.

    Lol...I'll pm you with the costs.

    Steve liked it so much and got so many questions about it while it was in his store, that he is thinking of making it a standard and selling it :)

    Came in this morning and everything was solid and dry. I put it in my bucket of RO/DI water.

    Looking great so far!

    Maybe i haven't properly followed the thread but what is the total volume of water in the tank? What light are you using?
