Yeah I would assume you would be just fine with all those additional layers...(did you coat both inside and outside the same way) My only concern would be humidity and condensation on the outside of the tank... The damage on my boat's interior was always minimal, but once it started it bgean to spread and progress rapidly.

I love the look and layout. All the small fish swimming around the rock looks like a real reef. Nice job

I replaced the 2 clowns that dies and got a couple peppermint shrimp as well as some snails and i got a horse shoe crap. I would take pics of them, but they all went into hiding.

Very nice.. I would love to have a tank like this but it would worry me to have that much extra moisture in the house.

Thanks everyone, its taken quite some time to get all this coral. I'm thinking I might frag some out like the moon acan, cabbage, pink zoo, candycane, toad stool but I'm not sure if that's as big as it gets, finger leather, red and green zoo, oh and my Saturn zoos as well.

I borrowed my friends Canon. I'm still an armature and plan on buying one myself next year. So I'm still learning about the ins and outs of this better camera.
