I always liked the look of sand also and hated the BB look of glass or starboard, but after a few months of going BB it doesn't look so bad anymore after it started to encrust.

I'm running Seq Hammerhead CL to a OM 4-way with 1.5" outlets. My other CL is a Gen-x Pcx-55Hp driving 2 penductors. My return pump is a Gen-x pcx 40 in basement.


I hope to add 2 Vortech pumps when they are released into the tank.
