This has been an interesting build. Some ups and downs and a little heartache as well. Anyway, this is my lil 30"L x 12"W x 19"H island reef.

IMO, if you could pull out the white rock in the front view, right side ‘cave’, it would open up a nice swim thru area

I was thinking about that, but also thinking the back side "ledge" of that could hold some coral

Trust me... when you run out of room for coral, you’ll still be able to rearrange something to make it work!

I hope the same for you ... every upgrade should be at least 100 gallons more!

Well not exactly a 100 gallon upgrade, but a 90 gal bowfront i got for $100 will work for awhile...
