Ok I am getting my 29 gallon tank and it comes with a fliiter and everything heater I mean the whole enchlida lol and I already have the aquasafe and everything you could need and I want this tank to maybe have sand how would I go about doing this any good videos to show how to do this the proper way?
for a 29 gallon tank with sand should be a piece of cake . go to lowes get a 5 gallon bucket for 2 bucks . then get your sand and put about 1/4 of sand in the bucket at a time. Rinse really well then dump into the tank repeat till desired amount is in. What type of fish will be in it ?

Cichlids dawrf cichlids and I AM SO STOKED LIKE I AM REALLY EXCITED! thanks for the tip!
if you have any type of rocks that you want to put in the tank i would advise you put them in before laying the sand down. Maybe even putting eggcrate and the bottom of the tank . Cichlids are busy diggers idk bout dwarf ones but mine love digging .

Also, make sure you're using the right type of sand...you can use Play Sand, and Silica sand which has a much different appearance than play sand. Silica sand is also quite inexpensive and much cleaner than play sand.
Using Aragonite and Coral sand are better for keeping african or other hard water loving cichlids. As this sand tends to raise your pH level, but it does also costs more.
