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.

Every time I see your thread pop up I consider making an offer until I realize it's a build thread. That's a very nice tank it's coming along nicely.

I won't turn down an offer.......... to fund the build.
