The setup looks great- I recently doubled my tank size too, not quite as monster as yours but I love it and Im sure your going too as well- the thread was nice and thorough also, but, I might have missed it, but the one thing I didnt get was the fake bottom- I know you pulled it, but what was the original purpose?

thanks! the purpose of the false bottom is to create an open space between the bottom and your substrate. you would put some eggcrate on top of that with bugscreen and through your sand/gravel on top. so when the water flows through, it pushes all the crud up into the filter
