I am heading over to lowes quickly before they close, I need corner braces for the doors and sanding paper. I will complete the doors and then start the staining process.
Last night I was at lowes and they had sand that had a small tear in two of the bags, $1 a piece!!!
I have some live sand to seed the recommended sand you can get from lowes with.
I ended up getting a protein skimmer with the tank, it is a large berlin, I will try it and see how it does before pujrchasing another one!

Whats the name brand of this sand? Im curious for future reference.

Quickcrete tropical play sand. Just under $4 a bag. There was a post on this site saying that is a good & safe choice . The post also said that they get their sand straight from the beach. I was pricing sand at LFS and such and accidently stumbled across that post!!!

From the MSDS on Quikcrete's web site
"Ecotoxicity: Crystalline silica (quartz) is not known to be ecotoxic; i.e., there are no data that suggests that crystalline silica (quartz) is toxic to birds, fish, invertebrates, microorganisms or plants"
This is good to know for the future,thanx

would the puffer harm the large hermits, I'm talking the red ones that are 3-5 inches?
