Really nice! That 'salt n pepper' substrate is starting to grow
on me. I'm seeing more and more tanks using it in their setup.
Initially I couldn't stand it, yet you've pulled it off quite
well.
Great job!

Thank you!
@Paul - The salt and pepper is actually the only thing that
would work. Darker greys and blacks would hide the fishes
potential and white would make the rocks look dirty since they
are an off-white/cream color. It's also super fine, which I
love. Only downside is the jets fling it around :)

Your tank looks awesome my dream is to have a 300+ tank in my
home. Currently saving money to buy one, can't wait for that
day.

It's absolutely incredible to wake up to a wall of fish every
morning. I hope you get a tank like this soon! Though I don't
know the real number, I estimated that the tank I have was
approximately 10k+ all inclusive, but it's also made by MRC
which is top of the line stuff.
