Are both sides of the tank visible or only one? If only one is visible I would paint the other black before it gets too stocked up.

The design is fine and I think it gives you pleanty of room for corals and fish room to swim.

For right now only one side is visible but I'll be moving in the summer and plan on putting it in a spot where I can see all 3 sides

I got 17 pounds from reef cleaners (ordered 15 pounds for $40). I didn't use all of it, there's about 12-13 pounds in the tank

I like it so far.....if I had anything to add, I would increase the height of one of the islands so they aren't the same height. I assume you don't have anymore rock, but if you did

, I think adding one small rock to the left island would make it perfect.....in my opinion of course.

Hi @Crested I think it looks very nice indeed, you’ve made a fine job of that

It will start to look even better once you get some corals/fish in there as well.

I'm planning on stocking with 1 firefish goby and a pistol shrimp/yellow watchman goby pair

The firefish goby is what got me interested in saltwater in the first place so I'm super excited for it!
