Ok so with the suggestion from NorthernGuy I changed my tank to sand. I have included a link with photos.

very pleased with how it came out. There are a lot of bubbles on the walls at the moment. My filters are not running yet. There is a slight haze on the bottom of the tank... Not sure if I didn't soak my pot long enough or didn't get all the sand dust off. ::shrugs shoulders:: I'm not in a huge hurry, I still have to wait for my Tetra safe start to come in. Hopefully it will clear up before then.
I hope you like the new look

You can start the filters to clear it up now.Its just dust.
You did a great job!

Well my 60g has fish in it once again and they are doing well. The 45 is kinda at a stand still because of play rehearsals... I got the top rim off but thats it.
