well so far so good, filter is running great, seeded the tank with media from my other tank, and now just waiting for nature to take its course before i add any inhabitants. I think that tank and floor have settled nicely, so fingers crossed.
i was originally going to put my goldfish in there, but since my other tank got busted (tropical) i will now put them in there. I had a party here for my kids, and needless to say, kids being kids weren't careful, and they cracked my other 6 foot tank. No casualties, thank goodness, all good.
