Folks, if you've recently upgraded or renewed your annual club membership but it's still not active, please reach out to the BOD or a moderator. The PayPal system has a slight bug which it doesn't allow it to activate the account on it's own.
Back in the day when we had a 30g cube, we ran a 250w MH over it for a while. It was actually pretty awesome, you just had to be real careful about heat. Again, I would go with the kessil, but something to think about.
Yup, and they deleted it off their facebook as well. There store rating on FB dropped from a 5 to a 1.9 today, so the reviews will still be there.
The picture if still floating around, I will see if I can post it up later so people know what we were posting about.
Yeah they already deleted all the instagram comments and are defending their actions. They are getting destroyed on all the facebook groups as well, hence all the negative ratings coming in.
It really is nice to see Live Aquaria and some of the other bigger boys trying to push people away...

At least they are getting called out on it. Don't be afraid to be vocal if you see these things.
Great tank size, and I agree with all of the above for glass holes and drilling. We ran a similar tank HOB, but it obviously has it's drawbacks.
Equipment:
Make sure you leave room for an ato container and get a good ato. Evaporation can swing the salinity in a nano pretty quickly.

I would agree that having basically two return pumps is just setting yourself up for water on the floor.
I also agree that the butterfly and the cleaner wrasse are going to need bigger tanks. The butterfly might also munch on your corals so something to think about.
Congrats on the tank. Realize with the tank on it will shift and then when you fill it with water it might shift again. I would wait until you have water in it to do any shimming unless you saw something that was WAY off and wanted to shim early.
Hermits and snails work great (we love nasasrius snails for this). I would avoid the sand sifting stars, they are too much for our tanks. Adding in the reef flakes I think is a good idea, IIRC a lot of people on here have used them.
A lot of people mix sands as they want different textures in there sand bed. That being said, that looks really chunky which potentially could be a nitrate trap over time. That can be avoided with maintenance and a clean up crew, but something to keep in mind.
