I don't know much about about the socks, but I can tell you that polypropylene (PP) felt is good stuff. The PP is used on almost everything with liquid. They are super resistant to corrosion and cracking,breaking. The felt I assume is just to hold the PP in the thread like fashion. I bought some...

What do you use for plants? I was thinking about doing about 1/4 gravel. Everything that I've read says that sand is better as far as maintaining the tank. Please let me know what you use and your experience with it. I want to have a "perfect" tank (if that is even possible) Lol

Wow...2000 grit? Why even call it "sand paper"? Why not just say paper. :) I will have to look for that. I'm sure if 1400 shines the glass, the 2000 must completely make it crystal clear. Have you ever tried/used it?

Okay thanks. I just wanted to double check since reading Dr. Google. Any experience with the plants?

I got the tank all cleaned and I put some window tint that I had left over on the back side. It look really nice. I bought some play sand at home depot for the substrate, but this morning I was researching it, and I've found mixed opinion about it. Some say don't use it, others say it's fine...

The 700 will definitely scratch the glass so just be sure to keep using finer sand paper until you buff out all the scrathes.

I've never tried to get the scratchs out, but if you use a courser grit, like a 700, then use a 1200 and then use a 1400 that might work. Well at least that's what I do at work to get the epoxy moldings to look like glass.

Nope. I use alot of fine grit sand paper at work to polish epoxy moldings. 700 grit does scratch the glass even though it feels pretty smooth. The 1400 grit literally feels like paper. It's super smooth. You can manually polish the glass by hand or use a electric sander. I used a sander and a...

Ha! **** you autocorrect. Yeah, plenty of water.

Thanks! I'm working on my 95 gallon right now. I'll definitely post some pix when's it's going.

So I bought a 95 gallon tank from my brother in law, who was using it as a turtle tank. There was a layer of calcium deposits and dried algea on the upper half, and especially where the filter was. I went down to the local hardware store and bought some 1200/1400 grit wet/dry sand paper. Not...

Thanks. He hides most of the time in his cave, but he always comes out for feeding.

That's my Knight Goby. He is super cool. I found him in a FS and had to get him! I haven't found another one except online.

Here are some pictures on my 40 gallon. Please let me know what you think. I enjoy constructive criticism. ;)
