Going to get some things tomorrow,
For the sand:
http://www.petco.com/product/115883/Petco-Black-Aquarium-Sand.aspx
Its cheap, that bothers me a little, I'm afraid its painted..

http://www.petsmart.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2753227&lmdn=Type its kind of expensive, but its really all I have locally..

I'm leaning towards the second one.

Also getting a heater.

Ooh black? I really havent seen the use of black sand alot in sw tanks! This could be cool, the corals will be so bright!

I bought white petco sand, and i didnt have much trouble..

Well theres a big price difference in petco sand vs. the caribbean sand from petsmart. If its worth it I don't mind paying, but don't wanna pay more for no reason.

Question, since I don't have RO/DI do I just use distilled water? Or what?
Click to expand...

Just buy it from the lfs or supermarket. Ro is good, preferably rodi
 
In the long run that's no problem. But, I need to get some tomorrow, and can't go to my lfs in time and get to work (I'm in highschool by the way). But walmart if on the way home and I thought that I could use distilled without problem. Or maybe just this once?

Yea. I think u can get gallons of their filtered water. I think the filters they use are ro machines
 
Ya, i think walmart is good enough. But try for the rodi whenever possible. With a 3g, you need top notch water quality

Well I know walmart had those water station things, not sure what kind of water it is, but I think distilled should be fine. At least for now.
