Order was placed with Miracles beginning of February 2012 after extensive research and shopping around. Glass was cut by Miracles 2/13/12.
Measurements are 96x36x23. 344 Gallons Rimless but with triangular corner braces (not needed without waves) but, just in case. Two internal overflow boxes, each containing two 1.5 inch drains and one 1.0 inch return. Thank you Derek for all your patience and assistance.

Miracles recommends the Reef Central stand template and provides full warranty (5 year) if plans by contractor are approved.

23" is the maximum height for a rimless 96x36. Anything higher would require eurobracing.

Can I do it if I spend some money buying tools? Yes Would the final product look like it was my first job? Yes Would I have as much confidence as if a professional built it? No

Mixed reef, especially fond of LPS, especialy Lord Acans, lol. I was thinking of, in addition to softies and acans, having just one species of SPS, like just blue torts.
