Okay, I got my sand, I got my roots (2 still coming in from Rheann!) and I've got my water. I washed my sand in my bathtub by filling it up half way and pouring the sand into an old pillowslip. I rinsed it repeatedly and put it in the tank - then I added the water. Now I'm waiting for the sand to settle and I will put the water dechlorinator in. Now, after Rheann's last 2 roots come in, I will take a picture of the tank and start designing the layout using Photoshop to see what plantsI should choose and what root arrangement looks best. The only lame part is that Michael's Axie population is about expired and I'm going to have to wait until Feb to get some.... but, oh well, that's the way thing work sometimes. I'm going to view it as a good thing, because if I screw up this tank, I'd rather kill a bunch of fish that cost about $3.00 total than a bunch of axies that cost much more. Not that I want to kill fish indiscriminately, mind you. But I figure that I will probably screw something up and I'd rather not use my axies as test subjects. I'm thinking of using these neat little silver stripey fish. They will also create excretement that will help the tank cycle and are hardy enough to survive the ammonia spike. I will take pictures as I go on so you guys can see the process. I'd have a pic up now, except my camera batteries are dead. Oh well, talk to you later...
