Yep, I'm impressed!

Well I figured since I'm eventually going to get an apex. I should pre-wire the walls for cat5e Ethernet, since filled tanks arent't easy to move. I also installed low voltage gang plates to clean things up.

That's a great idea.... I had to google "low voltage gang plate", at least now I know what they're called

Sump and more updates
So being a newbie I didn't rinse the sand and the water was cloudy before I could do anything any suggestions??

It will settle out. I rarely rinse my sand lol
