I like it. I like the aquascaping too. How thick is the acrylic, whats under the hood, is this going to be soft or sps coral? Sorry for all the questions, but I think its nice.
 
The acrylic is 1/4" and it should have a eurobrace instead of one centerbrace because it does bow quite a bit.

The lighting started out as a stock cadlights fixture then the MH ballast blew so I went to change it and realized that its almost impossible to work on and I was sick of lifting that heavy light. So I gutted it and built my own fixture for the 150w MH and 2-24" t5 attinics. I mounted the ballasts under the stand so that the hanging fixture is much lighter.

This will be a soft coral tank. Def lots of zoas.

Right now for fish I have a pj cardinal ( which I've had for over 3 years now ) and a red spotted blenny. I'll probably add one more, I'm thinking a small hawk? Any ideas for a last fish (or 2) let me know.
