Excellent looking set-up.

Just out of curiosity, why did you put the baffles in the DSB?

They are used to prevent the sand all blow to the left hand side.

What a great looking tank! I will soon be in the process of having a custom tank made almost the same size (48X36X25) just squeaking in to the large Reef Tank Forum. I love the aquascape. Looks like there are plenty of nooks for hiding but yet enough open space for a couple larger fish. Nice job!

I love what you did with the sump. Great idea.
