Got a clip on lens kit for phones. Still mastering the settings on my phone. Came with a macro lense too which was nice. Yellow tang was very curious what I was doing and decided to photobomb a picture!

Update:
Even with the top completely covered by the screen net that came with the tank, and a small one I made to cover the overflow area, the darn diamond goby found it's way out and on to the floor
. Must have had enough force to push the net up at the right spot and slip out. Poor thing. Think my clowns were stressing him out too much. Haven't seen my watchman goby since the day I go him either. Both fire shrimp and the pistol shrimp however are doing well.

I'm looking into getting the same tank. Is there anything you don't like about it so far? Also what kind of space do you have in the stand for ATO, controllers, and other accessories?

Love the tank and stand. The only things I'm not liking so far is the overflow section is hard to clean with the glass bracing over the top, and I wish the doors didn't all open the same way in the front. If one opened opposite it would give you more room to get in the stand. But I have to say, I love that the side of the stand opens too. So easy then to get the sump in and out if needed.
The sump I went with takes up a lot of room in the stand so I do not have my ATO reservoir in there. I'm sure I could have made it fit, but with the way my plumbing was the sump sits more in the middle than to the far back. There is a lot of room in the stand so depending on the sump you do I'm sure you could fit an ATO and maybe even a controller area.

Rockstar looks spot-on perfect I am very very very worried about your carpet though LOL. I wouldn't be brave enough to set up on nice white carpet like that you have some STONES MY FRIEND.

Sorry for the long pause between updates but just wanted to share that I added a Kole tang from Diver's Den. He's doing great and so are all the other inhabitants. The gobies seem to be the only issues I've had. The diamond goby jumped as I mentioned before and I haven't seen the yellow watchman goby for a couple weeks.

Awesome build! I just ordered the 100 INT...it seems most go for the EXT but I liked the idea of a C2C overflow...
Did you glue the stand pipes into the bulkhead? I never had before but for this tank with such a massive overflow volume, a leak between the standpipe and bulkhead will most certainly cause the sum to overflow....
Also, did you put the rubber feet on that top instead of the bottom?

Thank you! I did not glue the stand pipes in to the bulkheads. If they were to leak, it would just go down the pipe connected to the bottom of the bulk head.
What rubber feet are you referring to?

Figured I'd give an update on how the tank is doing and some of the new inhabitants.
Tank is doing well. No real issues so far besides being down one MP40 as I had the dryside go bad.
Really haven't added much for coral besides some bam bam zoas. I did however get some new fish and inverts over the last couple months. Added a Kole tang, cleaner shrimp, a lagoon shrimp pair, and red serpent starfish. All from Divers Den which I have been very happy with.
