I still prefer glass over acrylic. The biggest advantage of acrylic is that its easy to drill but other than that glass is much easier to maintain.

Love the video!
I did notice something that frightened me though... Your acrylic is bowing... A lot. The Center crossbar seems to be holding quite a bit of pressure on a relatively small area. Did you consider or have you heard of eurobracing?
I do not own a saltwater tank nor do i have a Acrylic tank so feel free to ignore my advice, i may well be ignorant. It just looked like there was a bunch of deflection in the sides of your tank and i thought i would point it out before it became a problem.
Your tank is gorgeous and i would hate for it to end up catastrophically failing.

Saw that too, even on the short sides, but figured its been up almost a year must just be normal behavior.
Yeah that has worried me from day one. Definitely get or build a tank with euro bracing rather than one center brace. I don't think this tank will be a problem but I'll just keep my fingers crossed until my 95 is up and running.

great vid, thanks for sharing.
I have nocticed you have a good amount of CUC. And after seeing a few other tanks with a good amount of CUC, i am thinking i need to add more to my tank

yeah my cuc is actually a bit overstocked this is because of me getting ready for my 95 I actually have a bunch of cuc in my buddys tank as well. Its cheaper to buy in bulk lol.
Thanks for all the comments guys!
