Hello MFK. I have a question about filling my 90 gallon tank. I was wondering if anything bad could come from filling it for the first time with a garden hose? Would it be better to purchase something else for this job? If so, what would you suggest? This tank will be mostly BB, with the exception of some larger stones.

Wow, I was going to say..long time lurker, first time poster. I did not realize it has been since 08'!
Just let your hose run for a few minutes, to rid of pipe water + get nasty hose water out.
hope this helps!

Garden hose is treated with several anti mould/fungal chemicals. Whether these are strong enough to harm aquatic life I'm not sure, but I don't risk it.
only the real expensive garden hose have chemicals,just go to walmart or something and buy a real cheap hose and you will be find,i have been using garden hoses fro many years and have never had one problem(use them for water changes evry week)
I agree, i've used water hoses for awhile now after my python got a leak. Just get a cheap one at wal-mart and you will be fine.
