Thanks! I plan on wrapping the stand with walnut, I just have to find the pieces that I like. I probably get the slight diffusion optics for the kessil's. I'm not sure how high I'm going to put the lights (I designed the canopy so it could raise or lower about 12" overall), I'll know when I start putting LR in there. I'm moving everything out of my 22g sps tank to this one, so a mating pair of clowns, ORA neon goby, Tanaka pygmy wrasse and my randall's pistol shrimp (getting a pair of Yasha's for the new tank). I'll eventually get some clams. I'll add some trimma gobies and a couple flasher wrasses later on.Really solid build man! Looking very promising. I love how you'd made the canopy sit with the stand, slick! Are you going to run walls on the entire stand? What's your thoughts for livestock? How do you think the Kessils will fare with being close to the surface? Are you expecting a "spot" effect from them (lighting only a part of the tank), perhaps thats the plan (and combine it with scaping)?
Cheers!
