Nice set up so far....you have A LOT of sand in that tank.
Click to expand...

display:
1x 40 lb bag of fine sand
1x 40 lb bag of course sand

sump:
32 lb from my old system
1x 40 lb bag of fine sand.
approx 6-8" DSB

on my last tank I had like a 1/2" sand bed, and didn't really like it too much. so for this one I wanted to go deeper!
(also thinking about adding about 15lb of crushed coral just as a nice little topper)
 
added 45lb of live rock, and changed around the scape.
heres a new pic, from my phone.

besides the glass being a littler dirty towards the bottom,. and not turning off the pumps, they didn't come out too bad.
 
just took in a pair of clowns and a strawberry basslet.

the clowns are doing great in the display, but the basslet likes to stay hidden during the day so far.
