Thanks! Glad to hear you guys like the scape. I feel I am never satisfied with it haha. Im not completely satisfied of the side view quite yet from pic 1... but love the view from the front.
 
I have a glass top on mine and everything is fine. Wish I could go with mesh. But the glass keeps the cat out of the tank

Okay, so far haven't seen anything weird with it. The few corals I have in there seem to be doing fine. I actually like the look with the top, and protects the light so hoping I can keep it on there. I guess time will tell.

I read that you could run into problems due to not enough room for gasses to escape but that should clear up when I get the skimmer in the mail this week.
 
Glass tops will hold the heat in, need to be cleaned to keep the lighting up, and allow for less oxygen exchange. I was one of the folks to bring the mesh tops to the forfront, it was called Sullyman mesh for quite a while and I sold it to a lot of local reefers. A reefer in Michigan Jimsflys came up with the idea but I think Chicago reefers really put it on the map all over the country.
That's a really nice looking tank, good luck.
 
Got a new Purple Firefish and two new Acan corals from Aquapros this week.

Also got the Skimmer in and installed. SCA-302. Was having trouble with microbubbles for the first day but today it has calmed down and skimming properly! Heres a shot of under the hood haha.

Also picked up a frag rack that you can kind of see in pic 1. Frags I got seem to enjoy not getting knocked over by my snails haha.
