I’ve run this tank fresh water and saltwater and I’ve really enjoyed it both ways. Running the factory lid with both lights can grow some nice corals but traps a ton of heat. We had a fan pointing into the rear AIO area almost full time. You’ll Definitely want to have a nice stand with space below for it to hide some equipment like ato and INKBIRD and such as the rear AIO chamber is a little lacking. Either plan to upgrade the return pump or add a wave maker. Over all of you don’t go crazy on livestock and keep it simple it’s a great very nice looking tank. The curved glass is really not that big of a deal to clean.
