wow that took longer than expected.

Love the stand and wow that looks like a square footprint in the pics I was having a tough time at first believing it was 30" front to back. Tank looks great and your scape is unique too.

For your first macros those look awesome. At the very least I would shoot a particular shot at various settings and focus on different areas then just pick the best later.

Sweet start to your zoa garden!

Now that you pointed that out, the pictures do look like a square tank. The display part is only 24x18x14, so it does come close to a square foot print. I will leave it on a tripod and same spot and tamper with the settings tonight. For me, its easier to learn by practice and experimenting. :

Calling it a zoa garden is an overstatement, I am getting 1 polyp growth per month or two. So if I wait a couple of years I might be able to cover those frag blocks :P

Very nice. I love smaller tanks

Small tanks have always been a hit for me. Especially when it comes down to SPS, a large tank is way to costly to set up. Speaking of SPS and nano tanks, I've seen your thread and know you are a big fan of both

For sure. I did the big tank twice and while I loved them. The cost I felt could be put toward better things (acros). Lol

Ahh, the acropora... Some how it demands all your attention, tons of money and on special occassion thanks you by turning brown or even better RTNing.

I don't have any pictures currently, but I will snap some tonight. But I can try to describe it in words. Basically its just a internal overflow, 6 inches deep. In the middle of the overflow area, I had ask concept to throw in a box that is right behind the overflow glass. The box is the same height as the panels of the tank and right above the emergency overflow drain, therefore water free.
