Also a concern I want to toss out and see if I’m just over reacting paranoid or not. First. I’ve decided to try bare bottom. I figure it’ll be easier to add sand if I ever change my mind later than remove it. Lol.Second, I’m starting to fill the tank with rodi. My plan is to top the tank off with rodi and then mix the salt in the tank. I loved your idea of Brute cans, so I have a few of those on wheels. I can hold up to 80 gallons right now, so the fill is happening slowly but surely.Also, can I just say what a lifesaver rolly trash cans, sicce utility pump, and python hosing/hook have been? Roll the can from rodi to tank, hook up the hosing/hook to the pump with a hose thread connection, and water is moving. Wow! So simple! I can’t believe I never thought of this back in my discus water change days.I hooked up a maxspect jump return pump, I have a second MP40 in the mail, as well as the Kessil A-Arm extensions for my lights. Totally slipped my mind that even though this tank is 24”, the built in auto top off in the back means I needed the bigger arm mount piece. Luckily no need for light anytime soon. Finally, my concern. Please check out one of my posted pictures where I zoom in on the back corner of the tank by the weir. See that big gap between tank and stand? Is that bad? The tank is only 80/144 full in the display (not counting rock displacement), will the final bits of water level everything out? Is it normal to be a tad off while the tank is still filling and settling?I didn’t notice this gap until I started putting water in the tank - not sure if the 80 gallons made this issue worse, or if me and the LFS missed this somehow during original set up. I doubt this since they went through everything multiple times with a level. The stand was level at set up, so was the tank. The waterline appears level right now as well. So confused on why the gap has appeared!!!Any advice for me before I get too much further down the “fill up the tank” road?</blockquote>
