Thanks!

Glass is 5mm thick with no, or very little bowing.

The tank is 21 inches deep. I am not sure what the norm is, but this doesnt seem too bad, unless you have to reach right to the bottom. My arms (and legs for that matter) arent very long, so its a big of a stretch

I have had the tank up for about 4 months. Things I would NOT change:

Rimless..I love it, clean look, no salt accumulating everywhere
Back painted black, still a fan of this, make the colors show up nice
Herbie overflow, nice and quiet

Things I WOULD change (does this ever go away?)

Ext overflow, my internal is kind of a pain with flow, and takes up room!
Gate valve on the Herbie, should have researched better beforehand
Bigger, but that seems to be a common problem around here

Anyways I should post some update pics, but not that much has changed other than some lovely nuisance alge. Thanks for looking, make sure you keep us posted with your new tank!

Jason

Well I figure I should update my journal seeing as a couple things have changed. I have added some coral and different fish, but for starters here is some of what I have added over the last couple of months:

Profilux controller w/LAN (Still getting the hang of this thing, lots to figure out, but so far awesome)
ATI T5 fixture (new, so we will see)
Controllable Tunze's & ATO (awesome!)

A couple blue Chromies, yellow goby, cleaner shrimp and a fire shrimp. As well, a stop to Greg's on Saturday for some more awesome SPS frags.

That about covers it, I will get some pics up this week, thanks for looking
