Truthfully I want black sand don't know what yet but that's what I want if not fine sand I don't like when you have crush coral in the sand cause it discoloration with algae. I never did bb. What up with your t.e. and your switch over?

I love the TE, but I believe it's got some junk buried deep and just started releasing. Plus I like the idea of a coraline/gsp/xenia/zoa bottom, not to mention the ease of keeping the bottom clean with flow. I haven't decided 100% yet on it, but I'm considering it. Maybe I missed it, but what lights are you planning?

Good deal. Wish I had your talents. My 240 has 6 1 inch holes and 2 2 inch drains. I haven't set up a closed loop, but really enjoyed your layout, so possibly going that route. Oh btw, Craigslist DT and stand here too.

This is only my 2nd build. But I try to research and not afraid to mess up. If I cut a pice wrong then I get another pice. Plus my daughter (5y) helps a lot. I say Emma hold this or hand me this or go cut this 72" long lol.

You and me both I worked on the doors today but for 1 my first plan didn't work and then plan 2 I ran out of wood and then 3rd I didn't have the right sized router bit to do what I wanted so by the time I figured everything out I had to leave for work.

Nah. Check out my thread - dankas 450. Tanks too pretty to pay attention to stand. I should say, mines in my unfinished basement. Lol
