I made these fiberglass flats recently to start growing some coral. They are 48" x 29" x 7". Does this seem like a good size? Does anyone see any cons to this design or material? Thanks!

I think they look pretty good. A few comments about the size:

1) If you made them 32" wide, then three of them would still fit nicely on 4 foot x 8 foot tabletop, which is a convenient size to make from a sheet of plywood.

2) 7" seems a little bit shallow - it gives you maybe 6" water depth max, but less if you are going to e.g. use eggcrate to hold frag plugs.

Appreciate the feedback
