jess has even said that once we get the money for this butcher block we are selling, i can buy the canopy for the tank an the salt, so that will put me even closer to what i need, an i might even be able to talk her into letting me buy some base rock if we can get it for a really good price
which will put me that much closer to having my tank set up an cycling

i dont have any experience using play sand, nor do i ever want to risk it. if i were you, i'd toss that bag into the trunk for more traction on the way to the LFS to pick up some aragonite. seems like too big a risk to me to save twenty-some bucks. i hope i'm wrong, but i figure if it was okay to use, dont you think everyone would use it?

2 weeks, hopefully, depends on how things go, but, should be 2 weeks, an we get some saltwater in it, and u can use playground sand, it just has to be, its either silica or silicate free, 1journeyman is the man to talk to, im really hopin to get him to take a look at this thread, i think im gonna shoot him a private message to get him to take a look an see what he thinks

Yeah you can use playground sand just seed it with some sand from an established aquarium, lots of people go this route...
Bos, there's a web site that has live sand activator; it's like 5.00 a lb. I'll pm you the website. Don't think I can post here because they sell CUC. Might be worth trying or checking out.
Good start!! woo hooo finally on your way!!!

i am getting my aquaclear 110's tomorrow morning before i go to work, so, ill have those tomorrow, an here's what has happened with the butcher block getting sold, kinda upsets me that people can be this stupid, now, we had this thing listed on craigslist, an when u search craigslist, u gotta choose a city and state, right? well, check out these emails from the lady who had me an jess all excited about getting that thing sold
Mike,
So sorry. Not real computer lit. Did not realize you were in Wa. I live in SC. No way can I have something that heavy shipped. Really would love to own it, though.
