Very Nice Med Red. There's also a build thread on RC to see the magic Mike in action. Again, very well done.

Thanks everyone! Sorry I took so long to jump in this thread. I had a LONG day at work. Give me a minute to get into my underwear and get comfortable and I'll read through the responses. lol

Your overflow is Soooo cleannnn

Thank you. I had to think ahead to make sure I could keep it that way. My 34 gallon solana came with a textured background that was impossible to keep clean. I was dismayed to see the overflow on the 60 was the same material. I asked StevieT from inTank.com if he could make me a custom overflow of smooth plastic. He said he'd try. I pulled apart the original pieces of the overflow and sent them to Steve.

He made me some awesome custom pieces I siliconed in place:

Custom on the left, original on the right

Sweet tank. Who's MedRed???

Did you use standard epoxy to put the corals on the rock?

not at all. used a razor to spit the seams and gently pulled each slat off.

I used JB WaterWeld and some Loctite super glue.
