Just my opinion that's a lot of sand..too much bad bacteria can be trapped with a deep sand bed as well as detritus.i usually keep about an inch sandbed..all and all the tank looks awesome,love the rock work.

I would be more inclined to say nice if there was actually a nitrate showing, as that would be an indicator of the end of a cycle... What are the other numbers? Ammo and nitrite?

I also moved some sand around and did a rework of the scape to add some shelfs at the bottom of the tank
