Wow that looks amazing!
I love the peninsula style tank. Just a thought you may want to create a large cave/opening on the right hand side of the tank to allow the fish to do laps, or get away from an agitated tankmate. What are your plans for lighting this beast?

Hey humaguy, What did you use to attach the rock to the overflow? I have a an 96x40x24 acrylic and I was thinking about covering the back wall with prime cuts from Marco.

Marco Dry Rock just came out with "pillar" design rock...I am the first in the country to get them...coming today, will post pics later...they are flat-bottomed, ordered 2 around 16 inches tall and 2 around 12 inches tall...excited to see them...rodi water was to be delivered today..just heard it might be put off until next week ugh...before you ask, I bought the rodi as I did not want to make it at home- too time consuming and would tax the rodi system...bought 1,000 gallons...getting closer to becoming a "real live" tank...
