i am always up early.no work going on lately so i spend my time here and on the piano lately.i have always put my sand in first.but of course push the rock through it to the glass.
the reason i have the 442 on my name is because i used to have a couple Oldsmobile 442's .
i have a 55 set up in storage i found on clist a couple years ago for $100.i didnt really need it but it was cheap and i figured i would use it someday.well it will soon be my new qt after the 33 gallon explosion.
my Internet is running super slow for the last week so they are coming out today to fix it.plus the power went out the other night for an hour and now my tv satellite dont work so they are coming tomorrow to fix that.stuff breaking all over the place around here.
LOL...I remember when I thought a 55g was a big tank. I have the 90g, it is just as long as the 55g (48 inches) but wider. I did that when I upgraded from the 55g, so my lights and equipment would still fit. I'm glad that I didn't go bigger, I can hardly manage the 90g...I can't imagine keeping up with a 125g or larger tank...I'm disabled and no man in the house here.
Oh, and I would never again build on the sand like you mentioned, just pushing the rocks down. I had a linky sea star years ago that dug under a corner of a rock and crushed itself.
