|  Right so I put the sand in today. And..... so far so good. Still a little cloudy. I shut down the other nano and used all the sand that was in there. Also re-did the aquascape looks 100x better now, well at least to me, i'll post both pics, since i took pics of before the redo. Umm... other than a crap load of work it seems to have worked out fine. The water parameters before adding the sand and stuff were good. 0 for everything. I got a few pieces that are just too damn big, I took a hammer and flathead to some of em but I dont know where I would want to break the other ones.  So I just put them down at the bottom til everything clears up. Yawwwwn... aight thats it for now, hopefully I wake up to a some what clear tank. |

| You're going to get problems with that aquascaping - you have rock up tp either of the sides, which means cleaning there will be a p.i.t.a. You need a couple inches clear around all visible edges. There is a reason a central pillar is a good aquascape for tanks of this size, shape.... |

| scraping with a scraper is bad news on acrylic even with a plastic scraper....you need to move the rock away from the sides enough to fit a small mag cleaner through that way when you look at your fish you can give it a quick swipe or two.....makes life much easier....

| Hmm my post didnt go thru. The way I have re-done my scaping I figure that it should be ok. I have a really small magfloat i bought for the smaller nano, so im just gonna use that one. The new scaping allows for room. Thanks guys. Good lookin out.  |
