WOW, its a masterpiece! Very nice tank and inhabitants. What kind of sand did you use and what are those rocks called?

Love the fts

I'm using the blue bag Leslie pool filter sand is what I am using for substrate, my first time using it as I am a real fan of Eco-Complete cichlid substrate but for this variant I wanted to try a lighter colored substrate. The rocks are Fossil Rock and about 300lbs worth.

thats a sweet looking tank, though a bit dark for my taste. Can we get a stock list?

How about you write your stock list on here the same as you did on the box. Lol

That was prior to my DIY lighting upgrade, initially it was running the Marineland single brights with 2x 1wLED that I modded into the fixture but now have changed that to 50x 1w LEDs and it's much brighter. Haven't gotten a new FTS yet.
