Here are the Timers and Plug Strips
The timers are outdoor type and were about $10.00 each at Wal-Mart.

The tank and stand were from Petco.
I dressed up the stand a little with a some shell knobs from Lowe's since it was a little plain.
The light is a Nova Extreme T-5 with Lunar Lights (4 T-5 bulbs).
3 Maxi-Jet 1200s for circulation, and a Jager 250 watt heater. |

I put the sand in (80 Lbs of Caribbean Live Sand) as per directions (don't rinse) two days ago.
It still looks like milk, but getting better slowley.

I would add some type of mechanical filtration to clear the tank up. I have a couple hot magnums that I will throw on a tank with the micron cartridge anytime I have a sand storm. Clears things up in a few hours. Without some type of mechanical filtration, you may be stuck in the haze for weeks.

I was planning on picking up a hang on the tank Magnum to polish up the water, this pushes up that purchase a bit.

I made up some Rock lifts to get the rocks up out of the sand.
They are made from white PVC Pipe.
