I have had this for a few months and am finally getting around to setting it up. I have a friend from a local club helping/doing most of it! Merging a couple of existing tanks into this one so it should look a little more mature from the get go I hope. This is the start, hope you like it......

We were halfway through filling it with water when my friend discovered a slow leak in one of the bulkhead, not fun! It had to be drained and I am trying to keep my stuff alive in rubbermaid tubs until it can be fixed. I leave today for Philly but my friend/lifesaver is coming this week to repair and load up the tank so I will have some photos hopefully next weekend. Thank you for the compliments btw, much appreciated! I have always wanted one of these tanks, cannot wait to see it filled. As for livestoock It will be primarily Lps and clam heaven with a pair of snowflakes I have had for a while and a fuzzy dwarf lionfish.

It was not easy but the tank is finally up and looking normal! We ran into a few problems and sadly I lost a good bit of livestock but its good to be on the other side of the mountain! My fish did not survive all of the trauma, really a bummer. Looking at a pair of clowns and maybe a Tang? Too small?? Input always appreciated.

A few survivors.... I have quite a few polyps that are closed though. Hoping they start to open, I couple have but most are closed tight.
 
Lighting this thing is proving to be difficult, I thought the goosenecks would attach to the drain raceway but it does not work. I have 2 Kessil a350's which I thought would be perfect but only way it will work is if there is a rail built.
 
Love my zero edge tank! How are your returns working for you? When we had mine like that i was not getting the crystal glass look on the top and over the sides, ended up having to do mushroom top like returns. Looking good:-)

I have them set like an s if you are looking top down, they really throw stuff around and will need to be tweaked as I put more livestock in it. I am very happy with how it's coming along though, kind of mesmerizing to stare at. What size is your return pump btw? I just added a Deresa that's maybe 3 inches and have a big beautiful Maxima coming, should really pop in this.
