This is my new setup. Just wanted to get some comments and suggestions on it...good or bad. It will be on either a 135 or 150 gallon tank.
Filtration and Air pumps
2- penguin 330's filled with crushed coral in the media baskets. Emperor filer pads.
2- aqua clear 402 powerheads with aqua clear sponge attachments
1- filstar xp3 fill with the media it come with. Bio-balls, carbon, filter floss. Would really like opinions on what I should put in the media baskets for this canister filter.
Substrate and Rocks
3-4 larger granite rocks
100lbs silica sand
I plan on putting about a 1” layer of silica sand on the bottom of my tank. For rocks I wanted to make it clean and simple. I plan on putting 3-4 large size bolder in the middle of the tank.
These are what the granite rocks look like.

These aren’t granite rocks but this is how I plan on placing them in my aquarium. Just a couple large ones in the center.

Heating
2- 250watt Ebo-Jager heaters
Background
This I am still not sure of yet. I would like to make a styrophone background like the ones I found in the DIY area. In the meantime what would u guys suggest as far as a colored background. Not sure if I want black or blue. I guess black would bring out the colors of the fish more. What does a blue background offer?
