Looking good, looking at that plumbing reminds me that I have to go redo my return plumbing this weekend to knock down some noise.

What scared me the first time was when I shut the ball valve on my one return to test that the other can handle the full load....

My paranoia about an flood is going to force me to drain the display tank today, drill another bulk, and add a emergency drain. Minor set-back...

Emergency drain installed! Wish i could have made it a bit more "undercover"... but it will do the job.

Even after draining the tank today to add my emergency drain, I still had enough time to get er' filled back up and added the Live rock and I think this is gonna be my final aquascape... Got a couple ideas to try out tomorrow.. but, im really liking this one.



Also picked up a used Hagen Glo 2x24WT5HO fixture today (thanks finaddict!)...

What kind of sand are you using in there? I might use that in my 15g FW tank that I'm converting to a FOWLR tank.

I JUST threw the bag out... haha.. It's another type of live sand, can't remember the name. Got it at Pisces though.
