I love the dimensions. 36" front to back gives a lot of room for structure and still leaves space. You might want to think about shielding the sun from the tank though. Could cause one heck of a bloom.

The one pictured isnt the one from you, the one from you is doing very well and opened right up. She got a deal that she couldnt pass up on the big one. It is a sweet piece in person.

Very nice set up in size and demension. Promissing a sweet mix reef in the future.

Nice tank! The only thing I would recommend is getting the tank into a more shady area for two reasons. I noticed you had some regular sunlight shining into the tank which will probably cause an algae issue later on as the tank becomes more established. Secondly, the light will probably heat up your tank more during the summer which could contribute to the water getting too warm since I noticed you have a hood. Just thought I would throw it out there as possible issues down the line
