Re: White Sand Now W/PICS

So, two things, 1) the water was still somewhat cloudy when I left for work this morning. I think since I put a large amount of sand in(probably half a bag) I have a bigger problem than most, so if it's not clear when I get home, I'll just do a water change to get the really tiny stuff out. 2) I remembered this morning that my video camera has a still photo capability, so I'll be able to grab some shots tonight.

Re: White Sand Now W/PICS

I had them same problem with the 135. I put about a bag and a half. Unless your in a hurry, I woulnd not change the water. I just ran the filter on it for about a day and a half, and PRESTO water was clear. I've got the pictures, just wating on the wife to help with the posting of them. I too am very happy witht he results. Man, the tank is much brighter now. I only turn on one light now. I don't have anyone in the tank yet, still want to wait. Just want to let it re-cycle a little. I know, its just what I want to do.  FF

Re: White Sand Now W/PICS

so what would you recomend I bring to the meeting to carry home 25ish pounds of this stuff?  5 gallon bucket work?


your name isn't Tony Montana so I assume it doesnt come in 1 kilo bags.

Re: White Sand Now W/PICS

A couple of Hefty trash bags or a 5 gallon bucket would work.

Re: White Sand Now W/PICS

I'm going to be using the sand on my 75 when I finally set it up, but I couldn't wait to use the sand. Here's a pic using it on a freshwater 12 gal nanocube I setup. Let me know what you think, I really like the look of the sand. Thanks again Steve.

Re: White Sand Now W/PICS

You've got the perfect fish in there too, those guys won't be pushing the sand around much. It really looks nice. Very nice indeed.

You're welcome and thank you for posting the pic, there are 9 bags left.

Re: White Sand Now W/PICS

CF -- I am still going to get a bag from you next time we cross paths.   This might happen this weekend or something like that..  It all depends on a few things that is taking place in my life right now.

Cichlidtx -- awesome picture :)  Love the look :)  Really nice to see everything working out like I hope to see it... I cannot wait to see it in my tank.
