Wow, they're all green!
The guy that I got the tank from was nice enough to let me borrow his suction cups to move the tank. We guestimate that the tank weighs about 250 empty.
I'm out of salt so a trip to BRK (my lfs) is my next step. I also need to visit Lowes. I'm still trying to decide whether or not to drill the tank or just use the 2 1200gph overflows that came with it. The guy I got the tank from said he never had any trouble with the overflows. I just can't decide. Maybe I'll let John at BRK talk me into buying a larger diamond bit.
I'm off to see the wizard!
120lbs of sand.
man this is a long thread but VERY entertaining
btw that was before the 1st disaster.
Today I picked up 200lbs of sand and a new piece of egg crate. My intentions are to remove everything and put a nice deep sand bed in the tank and then put a single flat shelf covering the entire tank.
Allen, Im getting ready to buy my sand and I like the sugar sized Aragamax. Im planning on 3-4" sand bed for my 120 but the bag shows this sand is for up to 1" depth. Is that just a suggestion or will there be problems going deeper with this sand?
Thanks
That is the sand I used in my tank. I have a depth of 3-5" depending on where in the tank you look. I believe that is more of a suggestion then anything else. It is great sand and you will be happy with it.
