wow, I saw the pics on facebook the other day, nice finding the build thread! this is basically 2x my tank... I can only imagine how much fun it will be trying to work in the tank with how hard it is to reach things in my tank. This almost makes me want to get rid of my pool table to be able to put a similar size tank where the pool table sits... almost being the key word... lots of work involved in big tanks!

Yep it will be bare bottom. Coralline and other stuff should cover it up after a while anyways.

Been up and running since last night. The drains are pretty noisy but it looks like I missed something. There are these small inserts that go inside that are supposed to reduce the noise a lot. I will put those in tonight.
