Unfortunately?, there is not much build to document. It's a rimless 45g tank. The stand is from the jbj, but painted to match our mid century decor. It's rockin' an AI hydra26 light, and a vortech mp10. Roughly 25 pounds of live rock and an inch of sand. A couple weeks ago i added a seachem tide 55 filter because I was sick of the surface film that develops. I hate the look of the filter on the tank but I enjoy the clean surface.

Few more random pics from today. The tank is mostly zoas and LPS. A added a few acro's just to see how they'd do. A couple look good, a couple not so much.

The tank measures 24" x 24" x 20". Current stocklist
- 2 clownfish
- purple firefish
- lawnmower blenny
- tail spot blenny
- longnose hawkish
- baby yellow tang
- cleaner shrimp
- bristle starfish
- 1 red legged hermit
- 2 cerith snails

Yes, the tang will outgrow the tank. It was 1.5" when I got it. In another inch or two, it will be returned to my LFS.
 
Here are some pics from the left, right, front, and top. Gives an idea of the aquascape. I tried to keep it open for coral growth and swimming space. This was my first time scaping a cube, Im pretty happy with how it came out.
