This is the tank just after Aaron finished the setup of the equipment and the hardscape on Monday. (I call the hardscape anything that can exist in its form outside of water, such as rock and sand.)
Here's a shot of the sump and all the filtration equipment from laying inside the stand and shooting out towards the main area. (A very interesting shot from Aaron, I must say!)
And here it is nearly half full! By Friday I hope to have the tank filled, salted, and have the water flowing. Then in a couple weeks we'll start to get fish in!!!
