    See if you can not get a back pipe .. or cover it, you are spending so much time on the rest of the tank the white will always bug you.

    What substrate are you planning on using?

    Wood can work that is a deep tank for some plants but think you going about this the right way.

    " 14000k t5 " careful ... not so lekker for planted tanks.
    "poting soil bags for back and covered with pool filter" yeap that can work - just remember that moving stuff around is a nightmare and at some point you will do break it all down to get the rotting potting soil out. On a budget and more longevity going pure PFS might be a better idea for such a deep tank, it will way easier to maintain. Potting soil can work, but when things go wrong it goes very wrong quickly.

    So maybe a different approach - what plants are you planning for and what do they need?
