Thanks for the suggestions
I have unplugged the heater and may use it in the winter months
I may add an airstone but for now am relying on a maxijet 600 for circulation
I haven't put any thought yet into covering the tanks
As for sand, I just added it tonight and am waiting for it to clear before I take any pics
I picked up some chaeto today and am hoping to add some coral soon so I can start feeding the tank

, but I will wait until my nutrients are under control
Tomorrow is testing day
