I'm LOLing at all the paranormal references. Funny how pictures work like that. I noticed the ectoplasm, most likely smoke, and orbs, most likely dust, and was thinking of comments, but somebody beat me to it.
Good luck with the renovations!

lmao......nothing paranormal here. There is too much commotion and noise for any ghost to want to stay here long.
Well, so much for getting much done today to the house. We did break out some of the slate in our hallway but that is about it as far as work goes. Instead we went to Home Depot. We spent at least 4 hours there today picking out materials. My husband has to go tomorrow and pick everything up...it is going to take at least 3 trips in his F250. We could have it delivered, but not until the middle of next week and he has help lined up for Monday for ceilings. At any rate, we chose real hardwood floors for the living room, hall, and kitchen/ dining area and porcelain tile for the entry way. Which I am pretty excited about. My head is spinning though. We got 2 x 4s, 2 x 6s, drywall, doors, plywood, screws, nails, mud, morter, lights, ceiling fan, and a bunch more stuff......but most importantly as my husband and the home depot gentleman were talking wood, I was kind of just strolling and looking around. I found 7 bags of PLAYSAND!! So at least 2 (if I decide the long tanks, more if I decide the small) of my tanks are going to get sand when we move the tanks and I reset them up. I am a bit nervous about that as I have never used sand. So which tanks? The 125 discus tank, 125 frontosa tank, 125 native tank, 110 snails/endler/cherry shrimp, 35 convict pair, or 30 meteor minnows? Also, would it be better to rinse it in the tank or out as the tanks that get the sand can be partially filled and drained again and again until it is fairly clean because I have 2 of the large tanks empty right now and will set them up completely before moving the filters and fish over to them. Then I will break down the 125 and 110L, clean the substrate, aquascape, refill and stock. Ok, enough of me rambling and suggestions are welcome. Hopefully, work will resume tomorrow afternoon and I can update with pics.
I rinse my sand in 5 gal buckets in the bathtub and then dump into empty tank and then fill the tank. If you want to do it in the tank it might take longer .
Yay for renovations that include fishy tanks Snoop! Good luck to you! Will keep an eye on things and drool!
id say sand in the dicus and the fronts , i have sand in all my tanks and find it easyier to keep clean
