So excited I almost WET myself !!!!!!!!!

[mikegronholz]

Today......I installed my overflow stuff and added my sand !!! YEAH !!! This weekend it will be transfer time for all my fishies, rock and critters !!!
Sand bed deep enough ? I'll seed it with some LS from the 75g. It is 100% Southdown. (Which I have a fair amount of leftover for anyone local that is interested.)

Showing almost 5" from the stand. There is about 1" below the stand line, so I should be at 6" deep (dry). I'm figuring about 3/4 to 1" of compression when wet.

Looking good can't wait to see it all put together.

Lookin' good Mike. New tanks are a blast aren't they?

I think one of the most fun parts of this hobby is setting up new tanks. I love stacking rock. I try to make each one unique.

mike, why aren't you killing camel riders yet? I was thinking that you would hold out for some Sahara sand for you DSB

nolofinwe - yep still setup (until this weekend). The 90 will be setup VERY similar. And yep, here's a pic ...
ranger - I'm a network guy. My shop has a GySgt. over there now and I am next to go. I asked to go, so they are trying to get me a spot. Who would have thought, the guy that wants to go can't. Oh well, when the Gunny is gone, I'll be next.

That is a beautiful setup, Mike!
I missed the first rumble in the desert. I had just gotten back from Ranger School, and our BC told us to "make sure all of our loose ends were tied up" over the next few days. ^ months later I was still living out of C bags and the war was over. Oh well, at least my girl married me as a precautionary measure.
