Bad *** man . Needs sand tho 
Grabbed some sand from a fellow member before I took off to Havasu last weekend. Came back and this "little" fella made his way to the top. As thick as my pinky
Thanks! Yeah I'm dreading cleaning/rinsing all this sand. I'm planning on a 3" sand bed. I've got about 150 lbs I think another 50lb will be enough.

Thanks. That's just a sheet of Styrofoam. Helps with any minor imperfections on the top of the stand. Reduces pressure points.
I was going back and forth on that, and keep getting different opinions. I'm running a mag drive 24. It's going to feed my chiller and display refugium as well. Plus any other equipment may add to the manifold later on, calcium reactor ect.
Both have adjustment valves and I haven't piped the top yet. Can still go either way.

Took a long time but finally got it all filled with RODI. I'm hoping salt mixes just as well with the rock and sand in there. ... I may wait for my gyre to show up.
This mag drive 24 pushes some serious water. Extremely loud. Hopefully the break in helps but I'll need to figure something out for vibrations.
Sand smells like all hell even after rinsing it over and over. I'm guessing I'll have a major cycle hopefully phosphates don't become a long term problem.

I got around to adding some of my new equipment.
Lighting:
Radion xr30w pro x2
Flow:
Mp40QD
Gyre 150
MagDrive 24 return
Controller
Apex controllling, well everything - lights, heater, chiller, skimmer and all flow. I thought setting this system up was going to be a lot harder than it turned out to be. Really feel i'm getting everything out of my ecotech equipment now.
My tank completed its cycle but I still added a bottle of dr.tims to be safe. Added a CUC a while back, a blue spot jawfish last week as well as a few more fish today. Some "tester" corals are in place to see where my light strength is at. So far so good.
A few pictures from today:
A few lps testers, a tube nem and a mini colony of birds nest is all for coral right now. Trying to figure out where my lighting strength is at.
Fish:
very tiny cherub dwarf angel
Blue spot jawfish
7 B/G chromis
2 what I believe are called tiger tail anthias? I'm thinking I jumped the gun on these, hiding way deep in the rockwork for now.
