They are bulkheads installed backwards. I realized once I started doing my plumbing that the "back end" of the bulkheads + 90' elbows were going to stick out to far and my down pipe would not clear the edge of 1.5" crossbeam of my stand. So I flipped them around and used the "front side" which saved me that crucial 1-1.25"

Likely a combination of mostly sticks and few cells. I can't not do SPS, so that's a for sure. I've got a bit of a coralscape in my head of certain things in certain spots.

My fish choices are going to be well thought out, and I'm still trying to narrow down my tentative list.
