Here you go bichirs look great
 
Very nice setup. But how do you clean the sand?
 
Just the occasional gravel vac, not even once a week even- like every 3 weeks. The sand really does hold the 'bigger' matter on top of it of or predictably behind the wood or rocks. I have a rather large sump w/900 gph flow pointed to about the middle of the tank (you can see the pile of sand it creates behind the centerpiece of wood), it does a pretty good job with moving the water and a Cascade 1500 with a spray bar in the middle of the tank ( the bar is 36" long) I get enough current to keep stuff moving to my overflow.

This is also a little heavier sand too- but I found about a teaspoon in the bottom of my canister yesterday during cleaning...Not bad, but notable.

Thanks for looking!
 
exactly what kind of silver dollars are they? Do you know?

Didn't I see two with a more rounded body and dorsal fins with a flowing elongated tip?
