Default New tank setup

Dear all attached are the pics of my new tank. Size is 5 by 2 by 2 with a 3 feet sump, made by tankmaker. Sump comprises of 5 kg of bacteria house, 7 liters of Mr aqua ceremic rings and 5 kg of coral chips. Please give me your comments. The last pic is my PG got him when he was only about 4 inches... now he is 8 inches, kept him for about 2 mths now.

P/S: I am still looking for another 3-5 kg of bacteria house, if you have any for sale please PM me.

Bro castbug, how come the tray below the wool so empty? I would fill it fully with bio house instead letting them submerge at the bottom.

Trying to save money by buying 2nd hand. so waiting for a willing seller. eventually going to fill 3 layers up with 2 layers of bacteria house each. Need another 3-4 kg extra of bacteria house. Whole tank plus my new X back will set me back $2000+ bucks... heart pain man

Will do the posting tomorrow. First compartment is all bacteria house and filter wool. As for the 2nd compartment first layer is mr aqua ceremic rings and the 2nd layer is a bag of coral chips to be used as a buffer as well as biological media.
