Yup, I agree. We had it in the 180 display at proreef (before closing down) and I had a few choice words for the stupid eggcrate. Just put rock inbefore sand...same stability! Also when u decide to up grade to some kick as vortech pumps, the sand could move more water and expose the eggcrate. also love the overflow, very sharp looking. But I think there is one SUPER IMPORTANT piece of equipment you may have over looked.....chiller??? Especially with halides. Also, drilling ur rock can give you more open areas and unique aquascaping options rather than the rock wall or rock pile looks. More negative space is nice for bigger tangs and then u will have more room for SPS ;0)....just saying!
