It is definitely a challenge to do anything in a tank this deep... Thankfully I havent had to many issues "knock on wood." I try really hard to stay out of it do my maintenance in the back without disrupting anything and just let it grow. Grabbers are essential. Plywood tank is a little different than most I have an overlap on the glass so I can srape coraline past the glass. If that makes sense... It just always looks clean as long as there is no algae growing in the display... I'm very happy with it. Here are some picturesTank is looking beautiful! Do you find it hard to clean a 48"? I am thinking about going that tall. Lots of people tell me not to, but the visual is so nice.
Thank you everyone for your kind words!

Not a chance more access would be awesome but I wouldnt trade it for the negative space of the tank... that's what makes it look naturalWould you change the height if you started over? I just think a tall tank looks amazing.
Thanks for the reply. As for the "weir" I was referring to the long strip that is cut out to allow for skimming, how wide is that strip? (i was thinking of going 1"). Also, what is the width and height of the external box?Just a single layer of 3/4 for the overflow box. Heres a picture of attaching the back panel of the tank where you can see the box construction.
I'm sorry I don't think I understand what you mean by the weir?

What PAR levels are you getting for the lower SPS colonies?
Whatever you're doing with the system seems to be working!! It looks great. Going to be SUPER cool once those stags get even bigger. They'll get massive in this system!
The little shark pup looks nice and healthy. Good pickup!
