Oh I just noticed that these images are linked from RC which may be the problem.

Looks good! Nice and clean under that stand. How will you be mounting your lights and what kind of corals will you be keeping?

Sps and zoanthids only. Zoanthids will grow around the edges of the island to cover up the island edges underwater. sps will be throughout the rockwork along with scolys all over the sand.

I see everything and wow, is that bad ****! Never thought about a shallow tank for myself till now! Is this going to be fish only or will there be coral. I don't see any lighting other than ambiant lighting from behind the tank. You could probably throw a PAR38 Lamp in the ceiling fan??

Ooops, should have read the post above mine. Love the Marley picture on the wall too.
