I am starting my own "do over" on my aquarium this weekend and it makes me want to see your "do over" pic's. Before, during, and after pic's of any aquarium do over. From crash, to re scape, add them up please!

Where you using miracle mud as substrate or was the sand just dirty? Anyways, I'm glad to see you cleaning it up.
 
By the way, just a small critique and advise. If you will be doing a reef I would try to rescape the left column as you won't have too much room for coral. Maybe try and stand up some of the rock and see how that goes.
 
Thank you everyone for the kind comments. It was basically abandoned by my father so I took it over. Majabo anemone took
Over the tank. About the left side I do plan on redoing it soon. I want to flatten it out for more room for corals. The substrate was that dirty it was and still is crushes coral
 
I do not what I was thinking with my first attempt:

Not finished yet but here is my current do over.

This pic is right after I started, I tried siphoning out the sand and that didn't work worth beans so everything had to come out...

You can see that I need to add more sand under the rocks.

Blue Milli was instantly happy, the SPS's haven't had polyp extension like this for months.

That is all the pic's I have so far, I did do a rescape so I'll have to get pic's of that. I also have tons of frags that need to find homes on frag plugs so I have to clean them up.
