It is raised up with 1/2" high PVC pieces. But detritus still gets under it. Right now I am trying to tune my flow so all the detritus goes to one side for easy removal.

Thought I could post my picture here also... The tank is still very young (few months old), so the corals aren't grown in yet.

Details are in my thread.

Well first post on TRT so I thought a pic was appropriate. Just switched over to BB so thats why it looks empty. Read a bunch of threds in this forum, so to all thanks for the great info. Got a couple sps in it right now and hopefully will be getting a few more hear pretty soon.
