+ Pump, Pump Head, 1 More Bag of Sand & Plastic Grid

On our way up to the mountains for our anniversary vacay, we stopped by Fintastic in Charlotte.  If you love fish, you must go if you are ever in the area!  The people are amazing and so knowledgeable!  They will NOT sell you something just to make a sell.  You might even be grilled about your tank before you buy something for it.  Anyway, we ended up with another bag of Oolite sand, a Koralia 1050gph pump and a rotating head to replace the one that came with the pump and tank.  It had several attachments to make it fit several sizes of pump heads, which was nice too.  You can sort of see the new pump head and the new pump in this picture.  Also - thanks to Shannon's lovely advice, which is on almost everything with this tank - we bought the plastic grid stuff that goes over ceiling tile florescent lights and cut it to the size we wanted to put in the sand under the live rock.  If we have any fish that like to dig, it will keep them from getting smashed if the rocks fall.  We actually cut two pieces to stack one on top of the other because I felt that it wasn't deep enough.  This picture is from today.  We put all of the goodies in yesterday afternoon though.
