Looks great, what do filter are you using and what are you running in it to get your water so crystal?

Rena xp4 canister 450 GPH flow rate, of course thats before head pressure and filter media are calculated in. Rated for aquariums up to 265 gal. My tank is only a 72 gal but there is no such thing as too much filtration IMO and filters are not rated realistically anyways. The other deciding factor was a sale price at a LFS of only $ 160 and normally goes for over $ 250. What a deal! The filter media inside, in order from input to output of filter, is:

2 layers of coarse sponge

2 layers of medium sponge

Bio-material (bio-balls)

Chemical ("API bio-chem zorb" that says it contains organic removing resins and high porosity activated carbon for crystal clear water)

Fine bonded filter pad (basically is like 2 filter pads glued together, first side water passes through is a little coarser then gets finer on other side)

Water is then returned to tank.

It has room to add even more media.
 
That bullet goby will drop sand all over everything. They are awesome fish but be prepared for that. I had to sell mine because it was dropping sand on coral and rock anywhere in the bottom 8 inches in my tank.
 
Yes he does like to relocate sand around the tank. I don't have any corals but he does try to bury some of the smaller pieces of rock. However, since I have rearranged my rock to a more vertical design instead of them laying flat, he makes a lot less of a mess because of the lack of flat surfaces. I do like the way he creates hills and valleys in the sand. It makes the sand look more natural and always changing. I could see him being a problem in a reef tank but works well with my setup.
