Just set up a Tesla perimeter and call it good. But I wouldn't be doing any late night snack runs!

I am actually building one right now. Here is the one everyone keeps talking about in the clam forum, its where I got most of my ideas.

http://archive.reefcentral.com/forum...readid=1020163


And here are a few pictures of the one I am building. I'm starting a build thread tomorrow and will post a link on here too.









The tank will be about 22" x 18" x 10". The "table" will measure 26"x26"x20" and will have a 20"x15" viewing window on top. Lighting will be one 150w DE HQI for now, but I plan on adding some T5's later down the road when I have the money. The lighting will be in the back of the "table" and will be angled to shine on the tank. Filter for now will only consist of a HOB style fuge full of chaeto and will recieve its light from the MH also. I will also run carbon and phos. in TLF reactors. My main way to keep the tank clean will be weekly water changes with a special pump and plumbing to make that easy, just plug in and the water will drain.

Notice the viewing window isnt centered, its to allow the light to be out of view. The viewing window will be acrylic and will be easily removable to access the frags without having to open up the table.
