Ryan_H Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 Ok thanks for the advice! That just means sand I dont have to buy for the fuge .... Do you think the sand may pack down a little bit when i add water since its dry sand? not by much. it might pack down to a little closer to 2-2.5", which is still in that nuisance range.

w1dude Posted March 3, 2009 Author Share Posted March 3, 2009 not by much. it might pack down to a little closer to 2-2.5", which is still in that nuisance range. Ok I will pull some out and post some new pics soon! Link to comment
jerzsky Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 as for lighting you could go with two of these for now, and always upgrade to lumenarcs down the road....ive bought from hello lights before and theyre products ar great... hellolight retro kit oh wait, are you building a canopy for this tank, or are you looking do hang pendants from the celing??
