Very nice! Is your frag shelf thing a DIY item or can you purchase those sort of things?

I got that corner frag rack from Red Coral. They got tonnes. It comes in a long format as well. I never even thought about fragging when I got into SPS corals but now I am. First are a bunch of superman and rainbow montis that I recently fragged up. Not sure yet if I'm going to replant them in the tank or sell them..

I hear that voice too much....Ya the pen style is a really nice way to go. The 2 long sides makes a big difference on how much coral you can cram in. Very nice BTW

I've had two iterations of this 90 gallon reef (moved it twice now), and I think my 2nd most favourite part about a pen style is the easy accessibility to all three sides for cleaning purposes. The downside is that you have to keep all three sides clean You can actually view it on all 4 sides but I eventually gave up cleaning the West side of it where the overflow box sits. Most favourite feature is as you said, it allows you to cram stuff in on all four sides. I guess it is more of an island than a peninsula :-)

I am seriously thinking about starting a tank build thread for a potential new tank. Where the 90 gallon sits it is about 30 inches away from the wall so I could in theory put a new tank in its place that is a good 2 feet longer. What I'm concerned about is whether or not the floor would hold such a beast. I need to research that before I'd go forward...
