    Interesting concept. However, the gaps are not wide enough, so instead of better circulation, it might end up being dead spots. It really depends on how you place your wave makers though...

    How much gap do you think it will require?

    Now is 4-5 inch gap. good for mp10 and a return pipe.

    Welcome back! ^_^

    You might wanna consider raising the height of the light set. It can actually be quite bright, so you have to give your corals some time to adapt to the strong lighting.

    I'm curious... why did you ask the tank maker to construct the overflow box slightly off the left side? Just for the return piping?

    Thank You.

    Yes, the over flow is slightly off both from the side and the back.

    This is to

    1. Hide pipes and wavemaker behind the over flow.

    2. Allow the water to swirl around the over flow for better circulation?

    3. To bond dead rock on the overflow and give a more 3D effect.

    4. Overflow will be under the light and I will in-cooperate algae scrubber

    Does that make senses?

    Have been in this hobby on and off.

    But have never been spectacular in my set- up.

    My first tank was a 3x3x2 after seeing Aqua Technic's tank 17 years ago.

    My second was a small 2x2x2 cube

    The third tank did not take off due to oversea posting.

    This is my fourth tank over 17 years.

    Somehow my interest seem to last only about 1-2 years.

    This time around, I hope to make it a permanent one.
