Was only 2 of us to put it on the stand so we used floor jacked and 2x6s



i got most all of the plumbing done this morning just waiting on a few things to arrive to finish it off.
Sand went in around noon, still cloudy 10 hours later.
Currently have
200lbs of sand 0lbs of rock in the tank. i have about 150 lbs of rock and 75lbs of sand in other tanks that will be going into it soon and will try to add another 100 or 150lbs of rock later.

This might not be true, but I have heard from quite a few people that keeping Tangs in odd numbered groups will help to reduce the risk of aggressiveness. I am not saying that this is true by any means, but something to think about. Can anyone with a higher fish IQ than I elaborate more on this?
