Had to build this mud room cabinetry for the wife in exchange for the tank. Still some work to go, mount lights below upper cabinets and clear up wires.

2026 the 200g sitting in the garage will go in the basement and both tanks contents will go into the 200g tank, of course, after I renovate the basement in exchange for the 200g tank :)
I like the natural light in the picture!

If you have been QTing everything with copper I probably wouldn't risk it. If it's the only sand in the DT the fish will probably find it. I've read of people keeping them without sand but I think that would just cause extra stress.
Agreed on the stress.
Thanks for the feedback…I am definitely going to put some thought into the sand within the clay pot and disguising it with some rocks. Maybe put some zoas or something around it…:)

If you do post up a pic and tag me so I can check it out. I would think being clay rock could be glued to it. I would dress mine up but that end of the tank is in a corner so it's not really visible unless you lean around the end rocks.

Tank is looking great! What are you hoping to do this year with your tank?
Big rock with the stag on the left needs some re work. Ive got orange mushrooms that are killing the base of the stag and it's been rocking with the current for a couple months. I'm going to pull the rock and replace it with a couple of chunks of shelf rock I've got aging in my growout system rn. Adding an additional 80gallons to the system with another display tank shortly, a local buddy in the coastguard is moving this summer and asked me to take all of his sps until he's settled in his new location and ready for me to ship him some chunks of his old corals. I would love to upgrade the system all into one big 250-300gal peninsula but I don't think that will be in the cards for another year or two.
