    I am sorry,.... but it looks small...but I guess under the bowfronts space is pretty limited? Also, the Kelvin is wrong to grow plants...they say it comes with 10k bulbs, you really need 5500 - 6500K for plants. Rest looks good! :)

    it says that it has a pump to pump water from the tank to the sump and a pump to pump water back to the tank. No overflos? Sounds like a flood waiting to happen to me. What if your return pump fails? The pump that moves the water to the sump will keep running while the return has failed. Sounds risky to me but im sure you have figured a overflow-box to use instead.

    I dont think that it holds more then 5 or so gallons of water, it is only 8 inches wide

    It says 14 x 8 x 20 which calculates to 9.7 gallons but it won't be full, so I say 5 gallons is a fair estimate of actual water ;)

    Those bowfronts are difficult to find stuff to fit under them tho...so take what you can get I guess! ;D
