Aquarium Advice Freak
It's been a few days, no leaks. The cabinet modifications worked like a charm. Everything is solid. Next up... Drain the tank in preparation for the substrate. It took about 30 minutes to drain the tank with my portable sump pump. The plexiglass squares arrived today. I brought extras just in case the first version of the wall doesn't work out.
With the wall built, now I wait for the glue to completely cure. I plan on having the 40 lbs of GloFish Gravel on one side of the tank and the 100 lbs CaribSea Super Natural Aquarium white sand on the other side. The Family wants to layer in multiple colors of sand. I think it start off with distinct layers, but over time blend together. Has anyone used multiple layers of sand in an aquarium?
I could see using black diamond sand blasting sand as a good contrast to the white sand. Flow it in beneath white sand and possibly beneath the gravel as well.
I need to make a decision soon of the filter... The Fluval FX4 or FX6 on the high end, the SunSun 304B on the low end and plenty of others in between. Decisions, decisions...
