Hey XimeD, keep up the good work. Just noticed one small question left unanswered - 2.5-3.5" of substrate is good! Slope it (or don't) however aesthetically pleases you.
You wouldn't want to go less, because your plants need to root, and more might be overkill, but the depth you have sounds good.
Edit: I hope it was me who convinced you to have the 75gal I'm happy for you, but I must admit I'm a little peeved you beat me to it Oh well, once I get mine we will just have to start a 75 gal club.
Yeah, I'm following your master plan! I just got a deal on craigslist that I couldn't resist
I am planning what to plant in the 75gal feel free to give your opinion. Here's the link:
