Thanks.
Carey, yeah that was a "hardware store" close to home, I bought my glass tank from them. I don't like their prices on anything for the most part. They are limited on what they have but they do have sw and fw fish and equipment (albeit not much) and their tanks are FILTY, would never buy fish there. After I sent post, I saw one each of all different sizes. I am going with that brand because of the reviews I've found. I was able to find 2 10 gal Brutes. (friggen 17.00 apiece) I figure I can get started with those and then use them for other things. I don't have time to go to Home Depot or Walmart til at least tomorrow.
Here is the RO/DI I bought:
0PPM Portable 100GPD Reverse Osmosis RO+DI Water Filter - eBay (item 380255124367 end time Jun-24-11 14:29:53 PDT).
Will my Power Filter 400 take care of filtering for now?
I have a 300 watt submersible heater in the tank (unplugged). Is it better veritical or should I put it horizontal some where?
I only have openings at the back for now. 2-24" glass lids that came with it which already has salt build up.
I work this week 12 hours, so I won't be able to go to Foster & Smith til next weekend sometime.
Lastly, so far no base rock today :-( And since the water in the tank has cleared enough LOL to see, I don't think I'm going to be using the 40lbs of sand I bought. However I am going to use some of the black still for a splatter type look.
Now am gonna open up my RO/DI package since I have a few hours before I go take care of my grandkids for the night so mommy and daddy can celebrate their 3 year anniversary.
Sorry so long.
I'll take a pick and try to post.
