one bag of play sand was'nt enough so I ended up with a shallow sand bed.

Your system is looking like it has great potential, well done LL.

Couple of points though:
1) please make sure your scrubber light is properly fixed to the frame. You dont want that thing getting accidently bumped into the sump !
2) is it better to spray the rear glass panel with paint or use a backing sheet? Surely the latter is better as it allows one to reverse the tank display when the front glass gets badly scratched?
 
Thanks for the compliment AfricaOffroad :thumbup:
•The scrubber lighting is going to be changed. Still planning how to build and mount it.
•And for the glass that is a good idea but its a mission to turn the tank around. Would'nt it be hard to move with all the plumbing in place?!
