1 whole bucket of salt is just nice for my tank... Manage to raise to 1.025... Lucky, if not need to buy another few packet..

Going to add in sand later...

Wondering if the bacteria in the sand will die if I add the sand now?

wait for awhile then add bah. bacteria don't die so easily but just incase.

Regret not getting?

But seriously this black sand was a disappointment... They have rocks sized sand in the bag... :blink: :blink: :blink:

no lah i wont regret. it always looks nice now but later the detritus will make the sand whitish and greyish. so far i always see that lah. hope yours won't become like that hehe.

Nope... Dun have... The eggcrate is to elevate the rocks so that there are flow below the rock and not have any deadspots... This can be done also if you are able to make use of lesser base rock... I dun use egg crate becos I am used to scaping to ensure that the rocks are elevated and make sure to use as little base rocks as possible...

:thumbsup: good choice on the black sand..

but just wondering.. how are you gonna clean the glass on the 2 sides :blink:

No cleaning... LOL... If you mean the two sides that are against the wall.. The remaining glass will be replaced with aquascaping foam mixed with small LRs on eggcrates... So no cleanning required..
