Ooootay! So I'm pretty much all set up, it's been a long long day and I haven't slept in 19 hours!!!! To fill everyone in, I recently moved and decided I would give sand a shot. I'm making this thread in response to another thread I have discussing the correct sand and a request for pictures. So, let's begin!!

Now just to clarify because I know people will scratch their heads saying "wait he was talking about sand! Yes we were I'm just making this a mini build. I plastidipped the rear of the tank black. For those who don't know plastidip is a fantastic invention. It is basically what the handles on your tools are coated in however when sprayed onto a smooth surface Ie glass, car rims, car period, it can be peeled off like a vynil sticker. "But wait Mr. Seth! What if I mess up!" Peel and repeat. Now to the sand.

Alrighty, so I have about an inch of sand across the board. I got that with one 50 pound bag of #20 silica sand. Just got it all set up so still cloudy, and still not completely planted. Will continue my gardening after a nice long sleep and shall return with pictures. Cheers!
