    Cool thanks, I'm planning on buying the tank June 6th, with a stand. And the lights.

    already have a filter and heater, but I will get the sand ASAP. I wish I had gotten this black sand for my 55G.

          Put some in a bucket and put the hose to it. Then pour into tank once it's clear or much clearer than before. You can also do the whole bag but in a cooler. It'll be less trips to the tank.

                  You should buy some blixa japonica. Was my favorite plant in my old planted tank.

                    I used black diamond for a while with no ill effects. It says to keep dry for the intended use of it (sand blasting paint, etc).

                    Cheapest shrimp feeding dish will be plastic. Pyrex looks nicer but is more expensive. Both are pretty inexpensive for a small dish. You can buy a medium sized dish (4-5" diameter) at Wal-Mart for I think it was $10? Plastic Petri dishes are rather cheap too. You can order online or buy from other members on TPT as well.

                            Glosso is great... it grows in just about any conditions.
