"Overflow is standard external with three holes. Primary siphon with trickle down the emergency and third is my return which I still need to fit with some loc-line. Black vinyl on back of tank and the overflow teeth are CNC in a black plexi insert that can be removed "
The black vinyl is on the outside of the back glass and the black plexi is on the inside of the overflow as a removable piece? The reason I ask is they made my back plastic panel permanent on the inside of the tank. It covers the entire back glass and acts as the strainer if you will to the externally mounted overflow. What caught my eye was the visible silicone joints on your tank. I didn't understand how it was made I guess.

Yes even though the silicone seams are visible i prefer having glass that I can scrape on the back vs full acrylic across the back.

Looks amazing! Great job. I’m getting the salt itch again and seeing a build like this makes it even worse.....

Wow my journal is still on page one of this sub-forum without a new post in months. Wow wow lol.

Figured I'd throw an fts in here so I have something to compare to down the road. My algae battles with this tank were soul-crushing but things are much better these days. I can tell I'm finally getting to that point where everything's sorta deciding it can start growing. The coral figures maybe you've earned some satisfaction. Most frags are still teeny but it's great to see the growth starting to pickup. I still don't have much in the way of SPS... going to see how my easy pieces do for a while longer before going much deeper down that rabbit hole.

Currently running 8 rows of T5 with just a strip of DIY adhesive-backed LEDs down the middle for a bit of day and evening light. I plan to add something with a strong blue pop in the future. Maybe the Reef Brite Lumilite etc.
