I’ve done it!!!!!!!!!!!

I know in my last post about sand, I had said I would be getting some in several days! Well...... I probably should have noticed that as we have a pool, it’s likely we had pool filter sand LOL

I asked my dad if he had any and he pulled out half a 20kg bag of PFS!!!!
It looked REALLY dark, but actually in the tank it’s a very beautiful colour! Very natural – not white, but a nice tan-dark colour... I am VERY happy!!!


PHOTOS of the PROGRESS!

Before anything was added – sooo clean!
I turned off the heater and filter beforehand of course :-)

PFS looked really dark brown outside of the tank...
But brightened to a nice colour under the tanks fluorescents...

Looks great! I always though pool filter sand was more white. Awesome job!

Thanks guys - I am very happy with it :-)
Thinking about plants.. hmm.. I only have a 10k 18watt fluro bulb - does anyone think java moss and java fern would work?

Way to go -- it's looking really good!!! :19: :19: :19:

I bet fern and moss would be great in the tank, just might grow very slow. Nice looking tank!
