I probably missed it somewhere but what kind of sand are you using?

 

[NOLAGT]

There is a pic of it in a bowl in the tank a page or two back. It's quickcreet all purpose sand I had a mfk'er mail to me.

Cool, I thought that might be what it was. It looks like nice stuff.

Welllllll. No not yet lol. I just got to the point of, start with the sand and wood then water, but its late. I'd rather not flip the switch then go to bed (leaks). So I'll get on it tomorrow morning after I do a few things. I have 2 of the 3 fx5s ready to go and the 3rd is cycled on my holding tank at work. I also have all the lights heaters air pumps UV and power blocks mounted and the reef keeper up n running. Ill tidy up the wires more after its running.

Some pics

im gonna call this tank ER from now on cause this is such a clean project. almost too clean....

Sure is clean!! Shame there's not a better way of concealing all the filter intakes and heaters etc, I just hate seeing such a nice tank full of gear! Guess some clever aquascaping should hide the bulk of it. Petty gripes aside, it really is a beautiful set up, well done!!

Yeah I wish I could not have all the equipment. Reason is last tank was a 240 with overflows but it over flowed, created mold issues, needed water all the time and so on. All things that I might have been able to correct or things I caused. But all that assied I wanted bigger tank in its place and wanted it simple. I thought about putting holes on the back for bulkheads to hard plumb the fx5s...inline heaters...but all I could think about was what if's. what if a fx5 or heater or bulkhead leaks...on the back wall of the tank could be catastrophic with that much water. I already had a air hose in the 240 come off and drip for about 8hrs and make a huge mess. So I kept it simple...stock fx5 setups and regular ol heaters. I thought about the 3d background thing and honestly never fooled with one and just kinda got lazy...knew that all black background might help blend it all and maybe I can put plants in front to help.

Thanks for the comments...water today...I hope lol.
