Go you Dean!! Nice looking cover
I see you used the aluminum instead of the acrylic...looks nice. You'll want to wipe them down daily, I found the aluminum gets pitted from the SW. Not sure if there is something you can clear-coat them with to stop the pitting.
Just one other thought..when I used the eggcrate along the back edge of my 75 (when I had the OFB), I used cable ties to place a piece of the heavy 'mesh' style of gutter guard under it as some fish (like my Royal Gramma) could fit through the eggcrate..diagonally.

Why didn't I do a swap with you for that moon coral....:banghead:
Tank looks great!!!!!!

 

[Deanos]

I'll try and cover the eggcrate with mesh :idea:

NOiiice Mesh Screen....looks like Deen has a DIY thread in the works....

 

[Awibrandy]

Great looking corals Dean!

Hey Dean i dont know what pitting is but if you wrap the aluminum screen frame in electrical tape then the saltwater will stay off of it and not cause pitting(whatever it is....) :lol2: Just an idea i used when i had a metal screen frame.....

 

[adamrose]

Sweet Tank! Your pink chalice has some really nice color to it....

Pitting= When the saltwater drops eat away at the metal, giving little marks. Not Rust, the salt eats the aluminum
