    Well over the christmas holiday I was gifted a new Aqueon "Megaflow" 210G tank. It came with the glass top, a generic stand, megaflow assecory kit, generic aqueon light strip, aqueon pro model 4 flex sump, and the quiet one 6000 pump, and 80lbs of reef salt.

    The plan is to do a fish only tank. I currently have my 90 gallon tank and a 14g nano. I'm trying to learn how to plumb my "herbie" style overflow. I think i'm going to have a custom stand/canopy built instead of using this generic stand. I was looking the grim's thread and really liked how he did his canopy setup. Very cool.

    I'm currently stuck on a couple of things though and would like my plans critiqued to where I only do this once. Since I have no plans to ever add any coral in this tank, what would be the most efficient way to light the tank? Would the reef octopus nwb 200 be sufficient? Since I plan to have bottom dwellers, would 200lbs of live sand be enough?

    Here are the pics of the stuff that they delivered and how it sit's as of now. I dont plan on purchasing or going forward to my entire plan is set in stone.
