Hello..
I have been building a 75SW tank over the past year or so. (see link below) I am finally ready for the "furniture." I am planning on using dead sand/rock for now. Does anyone know of a good site where sand can be purchased? Also, any tips on using tap water for my tanks filling? I have read several books on this hobby, spent almost 2 years researching it and I know how delicate this is. I even spent the time and effort to build my own stand and canopy. But it seems that everytime I go speak to a dealer the refute simple things that I have read. ie - DON'T use tap water, buy mine @ $1.75/gal. Riiiiight! What do I need to know as far as using tap water? I know what I read, but I need a hobbiest like myself to lend some input based on exp. Thanks in advance...
