Coral diver...Thanks for sharing that link! I love seeing other 72 bows...my favorite type of tank for sure! Yours looks incredible! Do you scrape the back, too? I love the clean look on all 4 sides.

Coraline on the tank wall makes me crazy...LOL Do you have issues with your urchins picking up your frags? I had 2 urchins and they drove me NUTS, so I gave them away to a local reefer. So now, I just take a razor blade to the whole tank when the coraline starts building up.
