I used the water that's been cooking in my brute for 2 months or more now. Also used a 5lb rock, ceramic media rocks and bio balls that I threw in the Brute 10 days ago to get some bacteria. Oh and two small rocks that were in the Brute the whole time.
0 Nitrite 0 Ammonia 10 Nitrate as of two weeks ago.
Will test the actual tank water itself tonight.
I used Carib Sea Aragonite max select sand just over 1" deep. Do I need deeper sandbed? I have more.

Nice nice! I usually do a 2 inch sandbed just so bare spots don’t form after powerheads have been running and fish messing around. Less is fine to, doesent really matter. Your only getting real benefits out of sand with a deep sand bed, so it’s mainky just for looks. It does do some minor filtration, but not enough to worry about using extra sand.

Mine is shallow as well. Easier to keep clean. Ok, clean-er.

We are fine here! Just glad it's today and Saturday or Sunday!

Thanks for looking out!

I was thinking the same thing.

My rock has been cooking in a Brute since May 2015. For real.

One more day!

One more day!

Very excited for you, amigo!

 

[dantimdad]

Very excited for you, amigo!

Sherry said you should road trip!

 

[crusso1993]

Sherry said you should road trip!

Dooood, you have no idea how much I would love to do that! Well, actually, you do know my weekend plans. I don't think Katherine and Kyla, especially Kyla, would be very happy if I bailed on my duties surrounding Kyla's prom tomorrow. She's already had me promise her, twice, that I will be nice to her date. Fortunately, I know her date, as they dance at the same studio, and he's a nice kid. About as harmful as a fly. I think, if it came down to it, Kyla could kick his tail anyway!

One more day!

Exciting crunch time.

 

[dantimdad]

Exciting crunch time.

Yes and I just spent an hour unclogging the kitchen drain and you wouldn't believe the amount of dishes!!!

You do know that silicone will decompose in 75-80 years and glass is a very viscous liquid. At this rate you will have to refire the glass into flat panes and reseal the whole thing!
