Zero edge tank help
Well I have fallen in love with zero edge tanks. I've seen a zero edge clam tank in person and they look amazing. I found an amazing deal locally and I'll be picking it up in a few days. I just need to know more About them though. It is a 20-25 ish hex. I want to know what inverts to put In to keep it clean because It seem like snails would you over the edge and I'm not a huge fan of crabs. Any thoughts? Any other things I need to know would be appreciated. Thanks!!!

clean both sides of glass and water splash will cause salt deposits around the furniture. splashing is not hard but there are few drops that do fly out all the time.

Ok, I understand it will need more maintenance than a usual tank. What about a CUC? It seem like snails would eventually find there way to the edge so...

Zero edge aquariums are gorgeous, but I am not sure I am ready for one. |

Well I got the tank set up today!!!!
I have a temporary light there just to see.    I added about 75% tank water( I have a 75 gal reef that has been established for 1 year that I took water from) and 25% new ro di saltwater. How long should I wait till I add livestock? |
