ok everyone i have my 29 gallon running today i added 75lbs of dead sand to my 29 Gallon tank so about 5" DSB in it after 2 inches i placed some window screening then another 3" over that for a total of 5 or so inches At first I thought that since I have been hearing about egg grating or screening but I didnt know it was for a plenium system but I can always use it to keep diggers out.I also have my 150 Watt Quartz Halogen Lighting on it until I get a better light for it any suggestions?My question is what is the schedule like:
