65 gallon tank build thread. Upgrading from a 46 gallon bow

Woke up and it was better but still not clear yet I had to put all coral lr and livestock in bc my lil one would not stay out of the bucket! Here is an updated pic

 

Nice start, I would get rid of the glass tops, your going to need some gas exchange and glass tops aren't good.

 

The water is finally clearing up but every time I move something or re arrange or clean sand off the glass by the sand bed it stirs up silt! I don't remember it being like this before. When I took the sand bed out it was pretty firm at the surface. Anyone know how long this will last?

 

It will be a couple of weeks or longer until the bacteria establish in the sand.

 

Looks awesome

 

I could live with silt for A few weeks. Hopefully all of that beneficial bacteria along with the snails and crabs that I buried will come out!

 

Had a casualty of the move...I lost my jones blenny still have the rest of my livestock. Here is how clear things are so far

 

I would move the circulation pumps higher in the tank. Aim at least one at the surface to get better gas exchange. This should also help with the sand storms.

Tank is crystal clear today
