Well the dust has settled after adding the sand. It has been years since I have had a sand bottom tank and I really like it, it reflects the light very nice. My fish and other things thought it was pretty good too!
I am now pretty much done the aquascaping. I added another structure and got the zoa garden in place. As time goes on I will go higher on the
2nd structure and will fill in the zoa garden as I get more.
Here are a few pics of how it sits tonight.

I also got started on the return plumbing, its pretty much complete i was just short a couple of elbows.
