Thanks!! I have a few fish that are definitely on my wish-list.
Borbonius Anthias, Sunburst Anthias, Hybrid Gold Rim Tang, Gem Tang, Lennardi Wrasse to name a few.
It'll be an SPS dominant mixed reef. Just a mixing pot of my favorites that I don't get tired of looking at. Doesn't necessarily need to be ultra high end, just needs to stand out and look cool! =D

Congrats on your new Crystal Dynamic tank, I like your dimensions like you I could not go 36" wide it would stick to far out from the wall, my CR 72" X 30" X24" will be delivered tomorrow.

So I ended up upgrading the side panels to 3/4" glass to give the silicone more surface area to bond to.
Still stainless steel braced. Just extra beefy-ness to put my mind at ease.
I think the 3/4" sides plus stainless steel bracing should be stronger than 3/4" glass all around no bracing. The cost of 3/4" glass all around would've run me an extra $2000 on an already really expensive tank

With the bracing it's pretty solid save the extra money for other stuffs.

The only drawback of going with 3/4" glass is it limits you on the flow pumps that you can use. I can't wait to see this!

I did take this into consideration! MP60QD are rated up to 1" glass so I'll be good there.
Also maybe, possibly, probably, who knows, thinking about considering a Panta Rhei ECM 63 :rollface:

Congrats Stephen. Looking forward to the updates. Keep growing out your great existing corals let others share in them and deflect costs on what looks to be a top of the line system.

Might utilize some MP40s on the back wall if I don't get a Panta Rhei.
Even now in my 3 ft 60 gallon I use two MP40s at 80%. I don't think they'd be powerful enough for a 8 ft tank.
Thanks Rik! That's the plan! Need to do some trimming to help fund the new tank!

I probably won't be using Gyres in this tank because they need to be cleaned too often. I've noticed that in my frag tanks my flow slows down significantly about a month after cleaning. I just keep bumping the percentage up until I have time to take them out and give them a thorough scrub.
