I also had the tank closer to the wall, but moved it away....LEDs work MUCH better with a good 3-4 inches to glow up onto!

I've got my reefer 525 about a foot away from the wall. One of the things that bothers me on my 90 that I'll be switching over... Is how dirty it gets back there.. Salt creep, dog hair, dust, spiderwebs etc.
With new build, I can actually side-step all the way behind tank...u think it's too far away to get the cool Phillips LED effect?
Also, what kind of sand u go with and how much?

I used the Fiji Pink sand, 80 lbs. I have my tank about 4-5 inches off the wall....the LEDs are really bright, so you should still have good light with them if you go farther away from the wall...I would just play with it before you get wet
