Very nice. What light are you planning on running. I love the large sump gives you plent of room to put reactors and should be easy to clean the sediments.

Update!

So my boy bought me 70lbs of pink sand for Valentine's day .
Finally came in so added that tonight. Still cloudy but clearing fast.

Its the same colored sand with purple/pink tiny rocks in it. Love it!

Two days ago added a sailfin tang .
He is loving his new home . Accept today it was stressful.
Put fish in sump , did my first water change , added the sand , let it clear up a bit. Add fish back.

Tomorrow il be adding a few corals that are getting beat around in the holding tank.

(Catch them stupid crabs and put them in the sump)


peace and love <3
