Well Dave let me start of by saying

to TR.
I'm new to this to but looks like you did your home work and looks like you got a keeper their to

. About the copopods just having a
sump give them some were to hide cause most fish will eat them. Now having sand ,
live rock in there is a good idea that gives them some were to hide and the Chaeto is a good choice to it helps keep ( Don't quote me on this but something like this.)your
Nitrite,
Nitrate low. But it will need to be thind out every so often. A good way to get copopods is to put
live rock in you tank. They are probably all ready hiding in the rock.
Well I'll let the others comment more on all this since I'm new to all this.
But the setup and stand looks nice.
