well i got that crap out of it and scrubbed the tank and the wood.. gotta go tomorrow and get one more bag of sand and get them rinsed heres my idea for the new wood have a few more smaller pieces that will go in there and the plants.. hopefully i havent lost any fish they been in the bucket for 2 days but its a 40 gallon tub with a filter and heater just cant see em cause all the plants are floating in there too
