That sounds like great dimensions for a tank.

If you pull the rockscape up off the back wall you can center a single row of lights over the top and still keep your desired corals. I did mine this way due to an internal overflow and actually regret it a little - too much dead space behind the rocks that I would rather have as open sandbed up front.

If you keep the left and right scape towards the back and pull the middle one up a little you could look to run the RB32 parallel in the middle and 2 additional left and right perpendicular to cover more of the 30" depth. Anything like the Reefi, Ap9x or XR30 footprint would fill those spaces well.

The addition of LED bars is what I am considering at this point or possibly adding a couple of Reefis and running 5 lights perpendicular.

Thanks for the help! There are so many variations in this hobby, insane

So are we talking about going around shirtless or convertible cars or what? I’m a little confused……

Ha ha its the day you take photos from the top of your tank. I mean it could always be other things too. let you imagination run wild. i mean if you combine all 3 then ill be impressed

any 3d printer guru's able to help me with a specific request? i'm trying to retrofit my VBR aqua par meter to a new telescopic rod to measure PAR with. considering the rod it came with is metal i'd just like to avoid having to rinse it out to avoid it from rusting, which in all honestly is eventually going to happen. so i was hoping to use acrylic dowel rods with a 3D printed attachment to hold it in place to the rod.

this is the rod/dowel i hope to use: Amazon product (however if i can find one that's orange that's about 30" that would be great. can't find cheap alternatives of an orange one on amazon)

anyone?

Woke up to a bit of a mini disaster. Rock tumbled (again) from the upper right perch . Happened between about 2:30 AM and 7:30ish. Overall fairly fortunate, the only coral I’m really concerned about is one of the Acros I got this last sale. It had been looking good with lots of PE, but was buried for several hours. Definitely ticked off with lots of mesenterial filaments on it. A couple others got dislodged but are looking ok. And I had a panic attack when my leopard wrasse and Mel wrasse didn’t pop out at their usual time, probably due to the rock fall and my fussing in tank. Fortunately both finally popped out a few hours late.
