Very clean look.

Are you planning on leaving the back panel clear?

I contemplated putting a piece of acrylic on the back. But not sure yet
I built the tank as a look down tank so not overly concerned about it either

I definitely hear you on second guessing yourself but don't stress too much all that will go away when you leak test and see it actually holds the water

So I picked up plumbing today. Also got tile for the tank. I bought sand and tile so undecided. But I really like how Levi's tank turned out so I stole his idea. Thanks. Now I'm just waiting on check valve, gate valve, and one more directional bulkhead.

Glad your on board, mine are already starting to get a coraline coating.

The tiles themselves are travertine marble so they are inert, I washed them off in the sink to remove any dirt/ grime but other than that they went straight into the tank.
