[Mustangman11224]

Hey all I finally got my 75 gal up and running. I added a second bio bag to my 10 gal filter 2 weeks ago to transfer bacteria. I took the old bio bag and put it in My filter and dosed my tank with ammonia. Here's a couple pix Of my tank... Pretty empty as I'm waiting for my driftwood to soak and leach tannins. Going to get some plants this weekend !! And I have to flatten the sand. My water temp is at 79 is this ok for trying to cycle? Also I noticed alot of floating sand on the top of the water, how do I get rid of that?
Thanks for the help
Dan

The sand will sink over time but you can net it or hit it to get it to sink

I like Christmas moss. Looks really pretty once it forms a blanket.

Check out aquabid. You can probably get some there. Avoid the suppliers from overseas.
