Recently bought a house and took down my shallow 80 reef... seen here...

New house does not have a lot of horizontal wall space open due to open floor plan... so I wanted to try something different... settled on a deep blue 74 gallon tower... 24x24x30.. rimless with low iron glass...

I have not seen many (any??) of these probably due to the depth.. but I like a challenge...

Wife wanted white so we painted the stand and the bottom tank trim..

Looks great. Can't wait to see it fill up. I have the 24" cube and was curious about this one with 6 more inches of height.
