Re: Putter's first tank

The trash cans are storage for water changes and top off, I have piped the two containers to where the DT will sit so all I have to do is turn a valve when I am ready to replenish the tank after a water change and pump the contents of the container to the tank. The other container will hold fresh RO/DI water and be plumbed into an ATO system, with luck I should not have to worry about topping off the tank due to evaporation.

Re: Putter's first tank

Ok so the tank is supposed to be here today, so I am going to go ahead and order rock and sand. Now the questions, deep water tonga, good rock to purchase? Substrate, from what I have read so far it is looking like the caribsea arag-alive special grade reef sand. I am shooting for a sand bed of 2-3 inches, will this particular substrate work well for this application? If not I am wide open to suggestions for either or both, rock and sand. Thanks in advance.

Re: Putter's first tank

I have deep water Tonga in my tank from Aquarium Fish: Tropical Freshwater Fish and Saltwater Fish for Home Aquariums. It's very good rock. Lots of color, but no hitchhikers . Sand selection sounds good.
