I got another bulkhead, it didn't fit either so I had to get creative 
 
 
 
Eventually I'll replace some of that with a bulkhead and something that looks a bit more "professional" 

 for now it gets the job done though.  Not much here for serious tank plumbing parts. I suppose a trip to Vancouver might be in order (also depending on how stuffed this thing looks once I get everything moved over 

)
 
 
So I got sand and rock in the tank now. A couple of stomatella snails came in with the rock and I flung my last hermit crab in there for fun. 
 
 
 
I was sort of going for the "minimalist" look, now I'm not so sure. I don't want the tank crammed with rock but it looks like it could use a little more??  Comments please 
 
 
Man, I didn't realize just how much I missed the look of a sandbed in the big tank. No doubt I won't be saying that in a few weeks when its all scuzzy looking.
 
More pics soon with all my stuffs moved over
