Clarity is good. Pictures dont show cause dirty and in my garage. But will be filling it with water this weekend so people can see that it holds water and see the clarity, minus the dirty water. lol
It can be setup the next day. I would just recommend taking care of the stand , hood, sump and bigger overflow return holes. 480g is alot of water to put in to take out later down the road when u wanna make those adjustments. best to get it out of the way so you dont have to do a full break down.
Pull wanted a visual of how big it is. Its the size of a sheet of plywood. If you can imagine a bundle of plywood (24 - 1" sheets) then thats how big it is. If you dont have a garage or big house i wouldnt consider it cause 4x8 footprint is big....but very nice!
