    Anytime NOOZE. Just PM me and give me a heads up. Maybe we can pic each others brain to see if improvements can be made. I take advice very well.

    PM me when you know you are up this way. I am over due in making a trip your way.

    Thank you very much Inertiatic. That was the goal and I am glad I could achieve it.

    Thanks juice. Plan is do do bi weekly to monthly progression videos and shots.

    If you teach it, I will bring the swimmers.

    I added about 200 pounds of sand today. I rinsed each bag two times before I added to the tank.
    This is the sand I used

    Lesson learned, don't add 200 pounds of sand to a tank with 15 inches of water. Because after the first 40 pounds was added I couldn't see anything. I had to feel my way to adding sand.

    So all said and done I got my 1"-1 1/2" sand bed thickness I wanted. The tank finally cleared. Sorry for the dirty FTS.

    I still have to add the rest of the water to get it running.

    Wow awesome tank and I haven't even made it through the entire thread yet!! Local guy here near Wichita is setting up a 600gal and saw it empty and it was just as impressive with no water!

    Keep up the good work!

    Yessir. I am guessing maybe another 100-150 gallons and I should be good.

    Thank you for the compliment m.

    Thank you alex. It has been an up and down build for me. I am glad to finally make it all happen.
