Went through your thread. Very cool. And only a 10. Sweet. Think I'm becoming an acan lover. That multicolored one is sweet. Also like the ricordeas. I think lps is so much more entertaining than sps. Great build brother.

Thanks man! Flow carry's them opposite the monti and there just barely out of reach of everything else. A snail bulldozed it into an acan so it has a nice bit of flesh missing now
Nice acans, how's the overflow working? Any issues occur since the change?

Thanks! Only real issue is top offs if the water gets too low I get a gurgle so an ato should fix that but my water surface is crystal clear so its awesome. I'm working on a new home for everything new sump stand etc

My stunner is crazy resilliant. I got a good sized piece. 2 smaller pieces fell off. The smaller one fell onto my meteor shower. I picked it up. It fell on my blue candy cane. I picked it up. It fell on my torch. Etc.... then it disappeared for two+ weeks. Found it a week ago.under the live rock in the dark. Its almost back to color. Lol and its only a half inch piece. Nice sps though.

Very nice. I used to have a few sexy shrimp in a 5 gallon, and I think you just convinced me to get some more. I forgot how cool they are.

Water is in!! Took a few days and a bit of modification to the stand but I'm almost done. The overflow is a bit noisy if I'm honest but overall I'm happy with the glass holes kit and it beats the old setup. I put the old 10 underneath and am using it as a temp sump while I work a few things out. Some pics of the build 
have an aquaclear hob on till the sand clears up 
the girls building the stand 
the sump area in shambles lol
