i made a plexi glass cover for it so im not too worryed about perimitars
 
LR and coral banded shrimp. If yours works, I will get one for the office.
 
perhaps a small fry or two would work, however you will definitly want to plumb it into a sump, perhaps something like a 5.5g or 10g, you can easily cut the overflow grating into the back wall and then make an external overflow, won't take up any space inside the tank or affect the looks inside the tank. just make a 4"x2.5~3"x4" 3 sided glass box and silicone it to the back and drill the bottom of it for a 1/2" bulkhead and use a MJ900 for a return via a 3/8" bulkhead drilled in one of the sides.

You are a killjoy with your realistic approach to the situation :silly:
 
and for some extra water flow you'll want a koralia 4 and a pair of vtech pumps, you might want to also upgrade the MJ900 to a hammerhead pump and put a mag36 for a closed loop, a surge tank on the side might also be a good idea if you've got enough room in the equipment room next to the 8'x4'x12" frag/clam tank, 8'x8'x2' fuge, 12' tall skimmer and 4'x4'x2' sump oh and you're lighting is going to have to be upgraded, if you want softies then look for a 1000w 6,500k MH for the main daylight, and 3x250w 20k for the actinitcs and 8x54w t5 actinics for the moonlights. for SPS change it to 2x1000w 65k bulbs for some of the easier ones.

Sounds like the Holmer Simpson bowling alley where they threw away the bowling pins each frame and then made new pins by lathing whole trees into single pins.
 
i should just make it a decorative waterfall. u know just cut off the first three sides and cut and glue them to the back. or maybe i should return it.......
