Brand New 8 gallon bio cube

My only concern is keeping sand sifters to keep the sand clean in between the rocks. Also adjusting to how different the flow will be in this tank.
 
A lot of thinking and planning. I hope there isn't too much correction to be done after it's actually in the tank. Sometimes it just doesn't look right.
 
How much light does Andrew's frogspawn get, thinking of giving mine a touch more light, still sandbed but more into the light?

@Brew12 recently had an issue with a snail in his drain. 2 things, I need to get one of those tools, and I would like to cover my overflow with something to prevent snails or fish from getting down into the pipes. Is this possible?

A sand tiger conch will do a great job keeping sand clean

Get some ninja star snails for your glass. Hardest working snails I've ever had.

Ok, so I've been transferring water from my dirty little tank into the other rock. Hoping to colonize the new rock with the same strains of bacteria growing in my tank. I know that also means hitchhikers, but so does every frag.
