yea i got a real nice one that i use for my 55g so i figure i will use that kit instead of buying a new one. slow and steady is the only way i will go, after spending almost $200 in one day on fish tanks i can now take it slow at least for a month

hopefully i can get water in her tomorrow. i had to do some last minute painting. missed a small spot that was very noticable
. so it might take a little longer.
what did you use to seed the sand that you ahve in your tank?
the only thing i could seed with at the moment would be some CC and i dont know if that is good enough to make my sand live. anybody got any tips, or local enough to give me a small cup of there sand

thanks

i think it should be fine cuz it will give the sand a little more texture. it will only be a cup of Crushed Coral. so it wount be to bad. the CC in my 55g has alot of stuff growing in it(lots of feather dusters n such) so i think that is what i really need
