No kidding. A bit more complex, but I think I can get close enough to keep me happy. Helps having a glass/acrylic shop in town I can get stuff cut for cheap at. Should be a fun little experiment.

It'll definitely be fun and I'm sure irritating at the same time!No kidding. A bit more complex, but I think I can get close enough to keep me happy. Helps having a glass/acrylic shop in town I can get stuff cut for cheap at. Should be a fun little experiment.
Just saw your lighting post and am curious....230 gallons and only some BTAs and softies?No kidding. A bit more complex, but I think I can get close enough to keep me happy. Helps having a glass/acrylic shop in town I can get stuff cut for cheap at. Should be a fun little experiment.

Nothing wrong with that! I need to up my fish game....gonna need some larger breeds for the new tank. The balance of aggression, reef-safe and size is currently overwhelming!Yeeeeah. I'm more of a fish guy than a Coral guy. Heck, the only reason I want BTAs is so my maroon clowns have a safe space, and softies for a splash of colour and movement. About the fanciest thing I'd consider would be rock flowers and Zoas.

Definitely go with the riser. You might need a wave pump in the sump to keep the water moving under the skimmer.Jeez, so many questions.
Been going over sump designs, and it looks like it should be pretty straight forward. Have most everything I need. Glass plates need a bit of trimming or replacement to get to the right depths.
Anyways, I am wondering. My skimmer requires "6-8 inches" of depth for optimal performance. Would leave the sump 2/3rds empty. Seems like a bit of a waste. How good or bad of an idea would it be to have the skimmer on a riser to achieve optimal depth? If it's not a bad idea, what's a good way to do it? With a 6" riser I could nearly double the volume of water in the sump.
Also, ran the numbers, even deepest depth I figured, the display could drain 6" of depth (not factoring the pipes) without overflowing the sump in the event of a power outage.
