Will be adding rocks and sand tonight also been transferring water from the current tank running. Moved 2 canister filters and 1 hob to help get the bio going,fish will be moved in a few days.

If you look in the first pic you can see the scratches some a-- hat put in there. I honestly think they used black sandblasting material for a substrate I don't know any other way the could scratch glass that bad.

Looking good! Is this where the haras are eventually going to end up? They'll love it!

Yes they will. Thinking about culling some of herd before moving all the others in. Male/female ratio

Black sandblast substrate is great I hear. Anyway sorry it isent favorable for you, the previous guys choice of substrate that is. But your tank looks good. Is that a 3D background?

Probably does look good until some a-- hat uses it to clean the glass with it under a sponge. It doesn't look bad overall with the light on.

Looking good!

If you only had some big Central American cichlids you would be set

Looking forward to seeing it with the stock, even if they are African cichlids

Very nice. I can't really see the scratches. Are they near the bottom? I had blasting sand in one of my tanks -- I really liked the look of it, but noticed it put a lot of small scratches along the area that it covered. I was always really very careful and only cleaned the area of algae with my bare fingers to be sure no sand was being rubbed across the glass. I blame it on the fish digging and moving it around so much!!
