Very very nice tank. I've always wanted to try glasscages, but have been leery based on some mixed reviews but your tank looks great.

As for the foam question, if the tank has a rim on the bottom (usually that plastic thing) you don't want foam, as it may put pressure on the bottom glass, and on that particular construction technique, the tanks aren't made to have pressure on the bottom, just that plastic rim.

now just need to get glass for sump because if I go custom I get a 10" refugium, if I stick with the 20l there, I get a 5" refugium.

Eheim is en route so thats one piece of the puzzle.

Looks really good. I'm in the process of upgrading my 55 to a 210. A lot of work but worth it in the end.

UV sterilizer placed above.

Temp controller that activates the fan to cool down the sump if the temp goes 1degree above its preset.
