Nice build bro, have you thought about just going bare bottom with lots of flow / circulation? Makes for a clean tank with no sediment on the bottom and easy maintenance, IME I've learned to hate gravel and sand and just paint the outside bottom either a "Light Sand" color or black. It's all opinion of course but thought I'd throw it out there! Always cool setting up a new tank, congrats bro!

Thanks monster. The thought has crossed my mind. Ill have a mag 12 running full power in there for flow, I may also ad a powerhead inside just in case. Not really sure yet. Any thoughts??

Well even if you can't get the flow right away with what you have, it's always easier to siphon the sediment up on a bare bottom tank, if you even have lil flow the sediment will always set in the same spot usually a corner. Makes for a quick clean up with a short 1" siphon hose and one minute to suck it out. This way you Know your tank is clean and you don't have loads of crap decomposing in your gravel.. Again just MO though.

I am a fan of lots of water flow. Add a power head to move water to overflow

Ditch that ugly gravel! Go with sand or tiles.
