It's a beatiful tank, the workmanship on it is outstanding, and I love the pics, they document things very well. But I don't understand the point of the design of the tank itself.

I read the post and I don't understand how the view of the clams either from the top or the sides will be any good. From the top you have the return line churning up the surface, and with it flowing over the sides you're looking through a curtain of water. I would have thought having a removable sheet of acrylic over most of the top, (but leaving a large open area for water to flow over the sides, and having the sides slightly lower than the front and back so water would only flow down the sides, would improve actually being able to see the clams clearly, because it would give you two viewing panes that weren't obstructed by water movement. But then maybe I'm missing something?
