Mrc, thanks for the clarification buddy. Carl thank you sir for giving me a better understanding on prime I will now clean my tank add prime, wait a little bit and then complete the process. While I'm waiting I will make sure my temps match up. Btw any advice on getting an accurate temp...

Ok so Payter, I'm a little confused sorry. Let me see if I understand this clearly. Use the python to siphon my tank gravel, then dose the tank water, switch python thingy so it flows from sink to tank, adjust sink temp so it matches the tank water, fill tank. Then I should be good to go? That's...

Carl, to be honest with you I was under the impression that I needed to let the prime sit in with the water for several hours to do its job. I'm certain I'm wrong about that, as I am in most cases. In fact I'm sure that you my friend are correct. :) I was not sure if I could fill the buckets...

Ah, ok then sounds good I will clean it with vinegar next time I get at chance. Thank you for the cichlid cave reference. I'm going to look at that tomorrow at work. As for now I'm gonna go sleep next to my empty tank.. Have a great day tomorrow!!

Nu-Nu, Payter, sit back and enjoy my book. :popcorn: I"m questions galore, haha. I'm most definitely going to be getting the pool filter sand, without a doubt. I'm so sick of looking at rocks... I'm glad to know lighting is not a problem. That is a load-off believe me... I was stressing about...

Also I just tested the (and they are 402's) powerheads and only 1 works. They have all kinds of crap on them though Im gonna clean them and put just the one on the opposite end of the tank facing towards the pump. The pump will be on right side. Suggestions? I just ordered the...
