Very Newbie with pH question

I'm going for it - i've become addicted to the "shellies". Minus is changing out basic stone substrate for sand. Plus is a good friend is a chef and can get the snail shells for a great price. With my water chemistry and size of tank, it's perfect. I can't thank you enough Matthew. :)
 
You're quite welcome! :D

It would be great, though, if you could post pictures...I can't get any right now, due to living situations, so I'd really like to see someone else's tank of my dreams! :)
 
If I ever get done this cycling, I would love to post some pics. Of course, i don't have a digital camera. I've only uploaded via scanner, and that probably would not work. BF is already mystified as to why he came home the other day to find me draining out the tank and diggging out the substrate, only to replace it with sand (more $). He's actually really interested in the shellies as well, but a digital camera could, no would, not be in the picture (yet). Patience is the key word!
