Ya get a light yet? 4 bulbs will be fine for your plans, and if they change, and sps starts tempting you- up high will do good for ya still.

I have no fear of losing my life - if I have to save a koala or a crocodile or a kangaroo or a snake, mate, I will save it.

Looks good! One question though...... why did you make the riser so tall in the back? It only needs to be as tall as the tank top unless you were trying to do something I'm not thinking of?
If you can get me some dimensions and will pay the shipping I think I have some acrylic scraps big enough to make your corner overflow with. I need the water depth that you want to maintain, the INSIDE height of the tank and the distance you want to come out from the rear wall and side wall. The acrylic and labor is on me if you want the help. All you will need to do is silicone it into the tank once you get it.

when I made my overflow before, I read somewhere that a taller pipe will quiet it down if you dont mind the look.
Congrats on your DIY!
