It's my thread and what I say goes. LOL We are both building a nano so we can mix it up a little.

I would say get your heater next. the water shgould only be a few dollars so get that as soon as you can. Then you have something to work with.

Here it is!! I placed it between me and the 125g tank. lol
I can watch both tanks all day long now.

Starting with the sand, will update when I have something more.

awesome!

Ok so I put in a 20lb bag of sand. it looks good. I have an extra bag though. Should I add more sand? It looks ok with just the 20 in it.

Thanks!!

how deeps the sand bed?

 

[carey]

It's above the rim of the cube by about half inch maybe a tad more.

 

[xxwolfpackof1xx]

if you like it keep it personaly i like a semi deep sand bed

 

[carey]

I think I'm gonna keep the 20lbs. Seems silly to add more to make it deeper if its showing already. least thats what I'm thinking.

back to the water buckets! Its half full and really cloudy!

 

[xxwolfpackof1xx]

did you use the plate method?

I just realized I can't finish filling it up :-( The rock is coming tomorrow. I'll just have to drain out some.
Booo.....

what a shame

 

[carey]

I was thinking on starting the filter to help clear it up but the back isn't fillinbg with water yet. I have the tank almost full. Do I have to add water to the back or fill it up all the way for the compartments to fill?

Thanks guys!

The compartments should fill as you fill it up while the pumps are off all chambers and the display should have the same water level. When the pumps are on chamer 3 begins to drain and the display rises.

There should be 2 sets of slots on the right side of the tank for chamber 1, that's how water gets in

 

[carey]

I'm almost to the top grates on the right and don't have a drop in any compartments
? is that right?

I DO have water in the comp. on the right where my heater is. But its not flowing into the middle compartment
