Your tank looks great , I also purchased an the same tank . I have 2 radion pro and maybe will purchase a 3rd later but I really want the clear view lid . Do I need to have 3rd light or can they pre cut it?

They should be able to pre cut for it, just make sure you have the correct placement

Future Project: I am currently working in a reclaimed barn wood facade from my inlaws property. I am planning on adding a bookcase right next to the tank with a lower portion to hide my Apex. I will post a design picture soon!

Did you decide against the RMS track and slides? I am planning a RedSea 625XXL and was going to go with 2 Radion Xr30w Gen4 Pro units and possibly a xr15w Gen 4 Pro in the middle and use the RMS track. I was wondering what the 60.5" one looks like with the RMS arms, and if there was overhang. The clearview lid is very nice and i plan on adding one as well. I originally planned to go with one of their drop off tanks but decided to go bigger...

Are you going with the regular 625XXL or the Peninsula 625XXL?

The regular. The peninsula would be sweet as a room divider but I don't have a place to put it. I have a 6' section in my office and the 5' tank would fit in just right and not look cluttered.

Love how my fish see my face and run to be ready for food

Love your tank!

Quick question -- way at the beginning you have a plastic honey-comb type sheet laid down between the stand and tank (sorry if there's a real name for that). Is that standard with the tank? I hadn't noticed it in other threads, but I'm brand new, so maybe I just missed it. Or do other people use a styrafoam sheet? Is it to distribute the tank weight evenly, or protect against breakage from the rocks?

Thank you,
Amanda

It’s a light diffuser panel, and I used it for stability of my rock work.
