OTV in Saskatoon should have a good selection of quiet computer fans.

So I haven't had much time to work on the tank thanks to minor hockey starting. But I finally got it salty yesterday and added my livestock and live rock. I'm using my old light system till I have time to finish the new canopy and wire all lights in place. So far everything is doing great and the fish love the extra space.

interesting build but wow i'd never get anything done sitting there!

as for the seam thicknesses you could add vertical cleats but might be a bit ugly.

I'm thinking of adding some macros to the display since I'm not gonna be adding much else in the way of corals. My question is which ones will tangs and angels leave alone?

Added some sugar sand now I've got a diatom bloom as expected. Stopped at bay side today and got a yellow eye kole to join the family. So far so good but I'm watching closely to see if I need to divide the him from the pbt and the regal.

Everything is going good so far. I got some free glass from a job site 2 10x6 pieces(nerve wrecking ride home) so this weekend ill be cutting it to make my sump it'll be around 135 gallons or so and then ill add a curve 9 skimmer but as for return pump I'm undecided and any recommendations would be great for both flow and brand

Holy crap man! As others have said, you're concentration skills must rival that of a monk if you're going to able to get any work done at that desk!

You've made incredible progress, it's looking outstanding. Question - why don't you want other corals? That would make a sweeeeeet reef.

As for your macro question... I'm afraid that you're probably out of luck with those tangs in there. There probably aren't many in existence that they won't at least nibble. Trapped in a box with them, that would likely spell doom for most macros that you'd actually want to keep (it's always the algae you don't want that tangs won't touch).
