Hi.
This is indeed a great setup, but has some problematic issues, for exemple the water salinity drop cause by the rain, temperature losses, and feeding time.
Salinity losses:
If the tank do not stays under a cover, and if it rains the water salinity and pH will drop very fast, this problem will be only solved if someone stays 24/7 taking care of the tank... bye bye vacations...
Temperature Losses:
The 5 sides of the tank are in direct contact with the ar, this means that if is to could or to hot outside it will be very hard ($$$$) to keep the temp betwen 25ºC and 26ºC.
Feeding Time:
In this setup the water flows from the inside do the outside, this means that all the food you put in cames out very quicly , and will be remove by the skimmer.
Cleaning Time:
I think that algea will grow in bouth sides of the glass, that means you must have twice the hard work to remove them.
Final conclusion, this is a very nice and beautiful setup but very hard and expensive to keep.
Best Regards
