Sharp looking tank, like the size, did you get starphire glass?
What are you planning for the overflow, I see you did not go with an external overflow. Are you going to have the overflow in the centre of the tank??? I love this design, and you can have electrical conduit going up and down as well for your power to keep it nice and clean looking. What is planned for the lighting?

I didn't get starfire, couldn't afford it. I haven't quite decided what to do for the overflow yet. I'm leaning towards building external overflows/fuge . Everything from my old tank (65 gallon) will be moved into this one, minus a couple of boring fish. The lighting will remain the same as well, which is currently 1 400 watt MH with 2 36" HO T5 actinics. The reason I chose this size of tank was so that I could utilize all of my existing lights, livestock and filters etc. The only things I will have to buy for this is the pump & plumbing for the closed loop.
I wanted to revert back to the "bommie" reef style that I once had, and really liked. So the rock work and corals will be centered under the lighting, and I'll leave lots of room around the edges for the fish to swim.

I think the origin of the term is Australian. Anyhow, the best definition I've found is a "tower-like coral structure sticking out from a sandy bottom."(*)
