    I agree. I would feel differently with acrylic..... and a homemade stand.

    Not exactly true. There is a lot of laminar flow in reefs. Lots of current in the ocean.

    I have been running reefcrest and the corals seem to be happy


    Sorry about not offering the "afraid" option. Really didnt think about it. Didnt think about tank stresses. Thanks

    Good info. Ill be doing some investigating on this. Thanks

    This was kinda my thinking also. That why I had to ask the question. Thanks
