In my opinion I wouldnt even use a substrate lol with bigger cats it's way Easyer to clean bare bottom aquariums then to mess around with sand. For example when I had sand with my RTC and It was time to clean the bottom up the sand and waste would mix up and you would pic up more sand then you did waste in it just aggrivated me cause when I was done half of the waste was still on the bottom. But that's just my opinion 
If you decide to use sand send me a pm. I'm a self proclaimed expert in sand for FW and SW aquariums lol. but really i know a decent amount, id recommend a nice big grain Pool filter sand. its most sand and cleans up the best. If you get a sand thats too light not only is it a pain in the ass but it will ruin filters and get sucked up all the time.
thanks for the info. I will probably go with bare bottom. any idea on how much longer it will take to cycle ?
thanks. will post pics when a buddy comes over. I'm computer illiterate
