Well since Sunday was a wright off after moving the tank I got to work on it on Monday morning. Got a good early start on it but was moving slow due to the 36 hour day on Sat. spent the time and got it plumbed all neat and tidy. Tied everything up to keep it out of the way. and support it so it is not pulling on the bulkheads like the last system was.

Looking good. I dread to imagine a leak in any tank, but this looks like it ended up being a blessing in disguise for you. These are really nice tanks!

So I last left off with the plumbing finished. Now the fun starts we added 160lbs of live sand then to help keep the sand from getting stirred up we cut up the sand bags and layed them on the sand then we put a bowl on the sand to catch the water. We started by pumping the water back from the 44 gallon brute bins it was a slow process as we decided to do a fresh water dip on all the rock to get rid of any nasty critters in the rock we got a hand full of crabs and some bristle worms but no mantis like we thought.
   As you can see the plastic sand bags realy helped keep the water clear not completely but it sure helped
