Still like the open spaces. That's a lot of Vortechs!

Anthias tend to be "high maintenance" I hear.

Is your canopy going to be right on top of the tank? Or will there be a gap? My thought is, since you are already going over the lip of the tank for your return, why not run some PVC along the bracing at the top that will return the water in different areas of the tank?

Why not move the mp40s to the back wall, toward the opposite side of the tank? The mp60s should provide enough flow on the one end.
As for the parrot, I've seen them a few times recently on Diver's Den. |

Love the tank build thus far can't wait to see it running...
I hate to even say this though cause I really love how you have it, but it seems like the end where your vortexes are will be a heavy flow area and since there aren't any on the other end the flow will spread out and disípate as it moves along the tank. Wouldn't the lagoon portion of your rock scape been better suited on the end where the least flow will be? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Aquarium Engineering, that always looks like very high quality stuff! I've never seen their units in person. Will you use their calcium reactor and skimmers as well?

There products look good (yet to see it in person) I've already got a nice skimmer from reef octopus with a neck cleaner. For now I will be using the dosing method until the coral growth warrants a calcium reactor...at which point ☝️ I will judge if should use Aquarium Engineerings calcium reactor Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Fantastic setup. That fishroom is worth showing off. Question, how does water from your display drain to your sump all the way to your fish room?

Official understatement of 2017.
This tank is so over the top awesome from the crazy amount of MPs to the professional fish room to the ridiculous canopy to the fantastic aquascape. Thank you for doing what most of us can not afford nor are daring enough to undertake and posting the pictures online so we may live vicariously through you. Hats off, this is one amazing build.
