The build table is piling up. This doesn't include all of the rock (getting another 100lbs of Marcos reef saver tomorrow) and 140lbs of sand bags I have on the floor (getting another 40lbs). I'm really not sure how much sand I'll need. Going with the rule of 1lb per gallon, and I need extra as I figure out my garden eel setup. I really liked @billyocean 's ATL reef club's idea with a container. I think rather than use a plastic container, I'm going to make one out of blocks like this and add rock rubble to the outside.
If I glue these together and epoxy them, I can make a sand tight container that will be able to biodegrade the eel's poop. The one downside for what your buddy did is that I think a plastic container will just accumulate their waste.
I was even thinking of leaving a "vent" at the bottom that goes into the normal sand bed, but I can't think of a way to prevent it from just "leaking" out until the container is empty of sand.
Also I'm thinking of doing this in a more aquascape design than just a container going upright. We'll see.

Don't suppose you're near Connecticut? I have an extra bag of sand, probably 30 pounds of fishless cycled dry rock and live rock...The build table is piling up.

Here are pics of my scape which will be adjusted with my new Australian live rock tomorrow.
There's one piece that's touching the back glad that needs to be adjusted.
