Your Koralia 4 is in there too, adding a little flow support :-) Now.. if your Diamond Watchman Goby and Royal Gramma Basslet could make their way to my tank that would be great!

Okay, as promised, here are some daytime pictures. Still using my old 48" light so the lighting in the tank is oddly unbalanced. Also, nothing is secured to rocks as i'm still working on figuring out where corals will live.

I had the same debate! I was even going to go bare bottom. In the end I went with a shallow sand bed of 0 to a max of 1.5 inches in my lagoon. So ya, it starts at at 1.5 inches at one end of the tank and gradually tapers down to just a dusting if sand at the other end. The powerheads have cleared a couple of spots of sand but I don't mind. I suspect once I get a couple of gobies in there that there will be a few more clear spots. I just love how the halide light shimmers on the sand and how it reflects light back up. Makes the tank a lot brighter.

Great looking tank Kien. I spent the last hour at work reading your build journal. Busy day...
I was just browsing for ideas for a new tank in my basement if I ever decide to develop it. Got a lot of great ideas from your thread. Amazing!
