Depending what you plan to keep, the design of your tank might make it difficult to light adequately. What are the dimensions and what kind of lighting are you hoping to employ? I'm really digging the design, but I am worried that the angle of the tank might provide adverse lighting conditions to any coral you want to keep.

I don't think the front is THAT sloped that he'd have issues?

Hm. Perhaps I'm looking too closely at the pic that was posted of the real tank. My concern is that the light will reflect too much given the angle of the glass. I suppose, though, it's going to depend more on what kind of light than anything else. A single MH mounted at an angle would probably take care of that issue.
