New tank is in place. I tried to undo some of the newby mistakes I made with the first set up. Mainly I got rid of the play sand and added 100 lbs of Fiji Pink that I picked up at Gabe's (thanks Gabe!!). I also initially used A LOT of texas holy rock as a base rock. I took a good bunch of that out because I wanted more swimming room for the tangs. I still left some in there because things are growing on it. Eventually I will replace it when I come across the "Right" pieces of rock.

Everything has calmed down and the sand storm has resolved. The fish LOVE the lay out. My powder brown (aka Michael Phelps because he swims like a mad man) is even in chill mode. He just roams and enjoys the extra room.
