Kept redoing it until I was happy with the alignment. Just looking at this gave me flashbacks to that moment haha

Yes it took a while to get it just so, but the bad part was when I realized that I had left a piece of tape under the overflow. At least it hadn't dried by the time if figured it out! Disaster averted!

I have added rock to half the tank and moved a few corals. At first I was unsure if I liked it but I think it looks better now that I have placed some coral.

I'll always be a fan of bowfronts for reefs.

While you need to be a little more creative with your aquascape, due to the narrow ends and wider middle, the aesthetic bow fronts give is second to none.

A 180 gallon bow would get me excited to 'scape again.

Good on your for resealing it....that process is no joke.

You're like one step away from just building your own tank from scratch...
