Nobody?
I know it's requiring more light, than shallow tank, but for non-photosynthetic corals?

I have one spare, it was difficult to access for a cleaning and make a proper flow, without dead spots.

Your experience?

Is this the tank that has the same footprint as a standard 10g but is really tall? (24" or something?) If so, I used to have one of these. I used it just for freshwater. I think the tank was mostly just a PITA though. I ended up retiring it to a topoff container for freshwater until I broke it.

Yes, the same, for the same reasons. I had seen it planted FW in LFS, but the small plants, used there, are never for sale.
Then used as a refufium with top and side light. Now it's resting under stairs. Thought to use it someway...

back in the day (1995) I had one set up with (GULP) an Achilles tang, a firefish, an Argi angel and a Flameback angel. Had polyps growing in it, as well as feather caulerpa and and some live rock. Always had algae problems, but I kid you not, I had that Achilles for over 3 years, ... it moved to a 45 gal tank, then a 90 gal, so it was happy.
