Thanks Nick. I'm actually having a lot of fun with this tank. I love my main DT but this throws a cool twist that's just.......... well, cool. It has more of an interactive feel. Does that make sense?

Just finished trimming the shlalow tank cabinet. Here's how it looks.

Well I dropped and broke my shallow cube transferring it back to PA when I moved, and had a new tank built with a little larger dimensions.

30" x 22" x 16" tall

I'm planning an upgrade and was looking at the Glass Cages 65g Wide (Rimless) 36 x 24 x 16 Tall. Am I likely to have too many issues with a sand bed in a 16" tall that I plan to be SPS mainly? I ask because I have my heart set of some Leopard Wrasses and they are a big part of my upgrade plans.

The MP40 I have in my 24" wide is only running 50% and can still suck the sand in. I plan on repurposing the MP40 of course in the new tank.

Do most of you in the Shallow Club run BB? The pics are like 50/50 so far.

I was researching tank builders recently here's my estimates for reference.

I was going to do a 36x24x18 Starphire on 3 sides Peninsula style all black silicone. All had internal overflows and some had return holes drilled in back.
I ended up not upgrading this year I bought some much needed equipment instead.

Glass cages------ I think it was a little over 700 shipped

Miracles in Aquariums-$626 + Ship. (My first choice)
http://www.miraclesaquariums.com/
------------------------------------------------------------------

Aquarium Obsessed -------910.00 + second most expensive next to Elos.
http://www.aquariumobsessed.com/
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Acrylic and Glass Exhibits---- still waiting on estimate two months ago
