    Wow! What great pictures!

    I just want to re-clarify the rules because I think it can be easily misunderstood.

    Commonly, the Picture of the Month has a theme as listed above in red. That being said, when I set the theme as encrusters it was meant to be by a hard surface, such as a Montipora, Leptoseris, Cyphastrea etc. I'd even completely fine with Favia or Chalices as long as they have relatively small polyp size and don't flow with the current. 

    Stylaster's coral is a prime example of what we are looking for. Everyone else, if you can re-evaluate your pictures that would be super! I love how many people are participating and don't want the submissions to stop.

    Any ideas on who will drill, plumb and silicone an overflow into a basic 65 gal glass aquarium? I can't find anything reef ready in a 65 gal.

    Yeah, that's rough. I think if you really want to attempt an overflow on a non-drilled tank, then you should see if the glass is tempered or not. This can be done with a polarized lense and an LED light, such as your laptop monitor or a flashlight. 

    Most common commercial tanks only have the bottom tempered, not the sides. That being said, you could always drill an overflow on the back wall. 

    It should work, but I'd almost advise trying to start with a pre-drilled tank. It saves you time in drilling the tank, risk of breaking the tank and cost of buying the drill set.

    That first picture looks scary. Are you seeing any salt creep?

    My 75 gallon has a little silicone degradation somewhat like the second picture and still holds perfectly fine. Mine was mainly from when I first started and brought the scraper too close to the silicone. For what it's worth, I've had mine for 5-6 years now with similar damage, but not to that extent. 

    If the tank isn't too big, it wouldn't hurt to replace it.
