are you just going to assume that if sand is not coming out the top of the fbf that it is working correctly?

i always like to see the sand visible personally, though i've not used them very much.

great looking tank though. will be awesome when finished and stocked

cheers

yeh pritty much running on the assumption that it will be in motion, there will be a pad insdie the fbf on the return side to make sure the sand doesn't come out. I would of done it so that i could see the sand, but I couldn't find any clear piping to allow me to do so, so I went with using pvc drainage pipe
