so i went with a shallow sand bed with a deep sand bed in the sump.
all the plumbing is done.but i may have to mess around with it a bit more i am getting micro bubbles like crazy
got some of the lighting done
all i have to do now is skin the stand finish the lighting and build a tone of frag racks .
