Just got a new tank

[ZoWhat]

Just got a new tank this week with my stimulus money

Does the saltwater go inside or outside of the tank?

I find it best to turn the tank upside down and pour the water over it like a waterfall

Oh. Like a chocolate fountain or cheese fondue

Make sure you put your sand in first!

Make sure you put your sand in first!

Ok. Tank upside down. Sand on the glass top. And a fountain of saltwater pouring down.

Can I use sand found in golf course sand traps? (I want beautiful fish and corals by the 4th of July but on a tight budget)

Gravel on the side of the road usually does best, natural oils

Sounds even better. I'll sift out all the discarded cigarette butts

Allllllthough, these butts are spongy things that I can put in my CANISTER as filtration media

I use the sand from my pool the chlorine kills all the hitch hikers

Fill it with rain water then get two strong guys to bring it inside. Dont worry about it being level. A TV tray should support it well. API test kit most reliable and some fake plants and rocks from the garden will make it look natural.
Forget snails- Nightcrawlers are excellent cleaners.
Enjoy the tank

Another question...

What type of fish is best to keep swimming upstream inside the waterfall?

Bass are big jumpers, depends on how big the waterfall is?

But Domino's doesn't leave brown crusty residue on the bottom of the pizza box.

Unless you don't eat the crust
