That white background :thumb:

I had a white background in my planted tank a couple years ago and it looked real nice!

Following this tank.

I wonder if it would have been better to run the drains separately to the sump? More like a herbie style drain.
Was there a reason you didn't want to do it that way ?

Tank looks great by the way. Love when people put a ton of attention to deal!

Are you going to add doors

Are you going to add doors

This is going to be a complete open concept of my tank. I want to be able to see the sump at all times :)

The herbie method is a complete fail save system. However the way I wanted this to be setup the herbie method wouldn't work. I would of have to put a internal or external overflow to have a 3 - 1.5" drain setup. It's something different so right now with water running it's great! no issues at all. The low profile strainers block all the junk from the water and the best part is, it's a thread fitting so I can remove it and clean it out anytime.

It's amazing how much light reflection you get. I know sometimes it will be more cleaning maintenance required but the whole point of all white is so there is maximum light reflection for SPS corals in all angels.

LOL thanks. I just had to spice it up a bit! :)

Kudos on doing things your own way!

No copy cat tank, that's for sure.

Gotta keep it original! :)

Update with corals

Hey followers of the Great White SPS Reef. Here is a new update with some corals to start off with. As the population builds with different array of corals it'll start looking better and better. I have also bought a AI Hydra Fifty Two and made a custom Aluminum T-Slot rail for it mounted on the back wall. The rail is also adjustable for height above water level with loosely unscrewing 2 bolts.

I also have a new camera which will be coming in the next few weeks for betters shots of coral coloration.

Sorry for the long wait everyone. There are many things which I thought was right then plans changed. I currently made a new rock scape for my tank, kind of wanted a levatating rock concept. And some SPS ;) enjoy!
