50 gallon LPS & Zoa Reef

[Myka]

So I totally bunged up. I had this brilliant idea to use a hammer to knock the corner off the glass overflow liner to make room for the silicone joint that runs along the bottom of the tank. Yeah, I have NO idea why I did that. The annoying part is that I have all the tools needed to grind or cut that little corner off, but nooooo I had to use a hammer. Mad at self. Needless to say, I need to order a new piece of glass on Monday and there won't be any water in the tank this weekend. Sigh...

I still have to drill the return hole. I'm going to drill it for 3/4" bulkhead even though I really only need 1/2" return from the pump. I want to try it with 1/2" line and 3/4" and see if I get any "free" extra flow from using 3/4".

Here it is in it's spot. The color is pretty accurate in this pic. Doors still need clear coat. I haven't decided on background color, but will probably be black. After looking at it all set up I will definitely be making a short wrap (canopy) for the top.
