Shallow tanks really are the way to go, atleast IMO. If you're a stick head, maybe not soo much but for LPS/Softy/NEM tanks, you can't beat them.

I like the best of both worlds...

This was actually my original plan with my custom tank but the cost of it was... well... scary.

I can Imagine quite vividly, I had a quote for a 6 foot glass peninsula style drop off and yeah, not cheap.

Well jellyfish sting, so no surprises. Hopefully it won't continue to sting you in the future.

I like what you got much better. I guess I have just never seen the point of the drop offs. Seems like more opportunity for structural failure. Just me, I guess. I am the curmudgeon here. LOL!

Sunrise on Pirate’s Reef. There are a few softies in here. And the snails that never venture out from under the overflow. It is REALLY clean under there. Still no fish yet.

More Pirate’s Reef spam... I know it is nothing special. But it is a beginning of coming to life again.

Really the reason I wanted the drop off is because I wanted a garden eel garden to be the centerpiece of the drop off portion with a rock shelf overhanging and I was going to go really shallow on the upper level somewhere in the 12-14" range. But I am very happy with what I decided on, I would have loved a 6' tank but it just wouldn't work in our space and i wasn't putting it in the basement much to my wife's dismay.
