Forgot to say I removed the Percula Clown, and added an arrowhead crab. I found 1.5" bristle worms sticking out of the rock so I figured it be fun to let him crawl around and get them or something. He's doing fantastic in there so far.

Salt creep is pretty minor, I thought it would be alot worse in this tank. I need to change the configuration of the rocks again to reflect the light better. Right now, the top rock slants down towards the front of the tank, and the light shines down right behind the top so no light is showing on the front of the rock itself.

Oh, and isopods. Everywhere.

Cool little project, I've always liked those tanks but how do you keep the glass clean? Seems like that would be a royal pain....

Your isopods are probably copepods and amphipods :)

The pods look like this. I've looked up and read they are algae eating isopods supposedly.

And the glass isn't all that bad with a magnet! :p

Fish Gallery has LED light strips (Actinic, 50/50, and 8K) that they put in their Edge display tank. I run the same LED strips in my sump and they work great. Apparently the brand they carry can actually be cut down to fit any size you need, although you lose the ability to daisy chain the power supply and have to use a splitter. Just a suggestions since I was looking at doing almost the exact same thing after seeing their display set-up.
