Thanx for the Props,...I've always been a big fan of Arches, reminds me of Moab.

Thanx Beanz...


Did some more work in the sump area today and she now has water running through the plumbing, only one small leak that was easily rectified,... I'll clean up the wires and add the skimmer Monday.

She's not pretty right now but she can dance....

Also added some "reef bugs" last night, I've used this product in another smaller tank that had new sand and no rock, a week later I had all kinds of little critters crawling around that tank...
