    So you moved a 90g existing tank with sand and some water in it? How many people did you have helping you move?

    I tore the tank down basically starting the whole thing over, the fish are in a 55 qt. The original sand was play sand so it was thrown out, and most of the rock is deing treated for pest anem.
    I'm also adding a lot of new rock, and all new water
    So I'm basically restarting the tank it took 2 ppl to get the tank and stand into the jeep

    Nice set-up. Wicked good price too, but you need to stop washing your undershorts in there...lol. Look forward to watching this tank come together.

    Ahaha the cotton wads work great for getting dust out that you couldn't rinse out, throw em in after just adding new sand water clears much faster, I also throw em in the sump once in a while for a day or 2 to get rid of any solids that might build up.
    Got some night lights hehe
