Thanks for the quick replies! I like the look of the black sand and i think that i'm going to go ahead with it, even if it means a little more cleaning...

Hey guys. Just wondering if anyone has ever used the Grey Coast Calcite before? Seachem says that the Calcite actually has a slightly higher buffering capacity than aragonite. Anyone know if this is true? Does anyone have any pics of black/dark sand in a tank? Thanks! ~devin...

the HD here in greenville actually still has a pallet left from last year, but i assume that they will be stocking for spring soon.

thx on the powerhead advice. Also the Oldcastle is the argonite based sand, the same thing that you buy at the petstore but in a different package and alot cheaper. The particles are round instead of sharp like silica and argonite will indeed help buffer the tank. Check this link out there...

Hey guys. First off i want to say thanks! I've been reading and researching on the forums for about 6 months, and the information here has been so very helpful. Anyways to get to the point. I am moving in late april and i want to go ahead and start getting the things together for my tank...

cool, hopefully i'll be alright. i guess i'll try setting up the lights and running them for a few days before actually starting the tank up, and see what the temp does... appreciate the help.

would i get comparable heat from the pc's?

theatrus, do you have any problems with heat from the lights? I'm looking at getting the orbit extreme 4-130watts...(i found a really good deal on one), but i'm worried that there will be too much wattage for my 55 gallon which will create an excessive heat problem.
