Equipment so far:

AI Prime HD (just one)
Jebao WP10
Stock return pump (for now, too many horror stories about fitting upgrades into return compartment)
IM Ghost Skimmer (micro bubbles still an issue ~4 months in, so may change)
IM Media basket on one side with carbon/GFO in middle chamber, sponge in top
Filter sock on other side

Media basket will be getting a bit of chaeto and a fuge light soon.

Filling up and start of the cycle:

Added the Jebao, it cleared the sand out of the corner:

Added CUC and redid the aquascape - I like the right side still unsure about the left:
