True story...I added a second column and it was perfect. My husband walked by and said "this looks like a *****". OMG! He was right. I was tired of waiting and decided to fill my tank and will add the second column later.

Apparently I can't type the word listed above on R2R (It was starred out). Let's just say it was phallic in nature.

What I've learned about this tank and future tanks (so far).
#1 -- I'm going to be getting a new sump. Maybe not soon, but eventually. The model I purchased (ESHOPPS R-300) has the return pump in the back. I have to get on my hands and knees and stick my head way in the back of the stand to check it out. You do this a couple times and you realize the mistake. I'm either going with a different model or am making my own -- will decide that in the future. For now it works.
#2 -- I am 5'5" tall. I cannot reach the bottom of the display tank -- even when I stand on a step stool. I have grabbers I use, but they do not pick up rocks well. Because I can't reach the bottom, I have to pull out the rocks to glue on the corals instead of placing them in the tank. There is no way I can reach down that far without a snorkel. If I did it again, I would have gone with a smaller tank height. Although I do love the size when I'm not submerged.

So I've been getting very wet in this endeavor. For further details or what recommendations on the subject that other reefers have given me (some are funny) you can hop on this thread here. https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/short-people-with-big-tanks-maintenance-question.536415/
But in the meantime, I purchased a few tools to help a bit with the whole "mess" thing. The snorkel and mask was a gag gift from my husband.
