    Tank Moved

    Alllright so I finally have my 90 gallon moved to the new house. The tank was originally sitting in my parents house for almost 10 years and it was in a room that almost no one really went in other than to feed the fish.

    Nature's Ocean Aragonite?

    I've found what appears to be an amazing deal on Nature's Ocean Aragonite sand. 20 lbs for $11...!??! Anyone have any experience with this stuff? I don't see anything about silicate levels on the packaging.

    QT / Temporary Housing Duration?

    I understand the concept of QT and how long you should keep a fish in a QT before introducing it to the DT. This question is a little different... I'm moving a large tank in about a month and I'll be setting up a temporary tank so that I can move the fish about a week prior to the big move. I'll...
