    I'm throwing my 3 yr old and 5 yr old into a 200g if this turns out to be true....
    Don't worry, really.....I'll put a fan over the top for air circulation...I think this can work....

    That's a nice looking tank, did you have to special order it or did your lfs have it?

    Thanks!!! I had to order it. They were running a 30% off sale so I jumped on it . I have always liked the depth that comes with the deep dimension tanks just never took the plunge.

    Update--so everything is going well for the most part. I hooked up the auto top off which is working great. I am getting a mini cycle i think as the sand and rocks are getting a brown dusting which stinks.. Hoping it does not impact my fish or corals. I post some more pics in the next day or so.

    Hey Everyone- Thought I would send some updated pics so you all can see the latest progress. I have cabinet doors being made now and still have to stain the wood work but have not decided on a color yet-- I am really happy with how the finishing work has come out thus far though. Let me know what you think.

    Floor to Ceiling view. Until the cabinet doors are complete I have panels that hang over the top and bottom opening. that's what the temporary metal brackets are for. Let me know what you all think about stain color with the darker floor.

    Awesome! I love tanks that are integrated and not just "stuck" somewhere. Great looking tank with lots of life and nice corals. What more can be asked for?
