Looks good. I think I need the red garnet though to bring some more light to my tank. Since I changed from white sand to black sand my tank has been so much darker even with my lighting. I think the Red would bring out a bit more light and some awesome poly colors. Also what do you guys normally pay for 40-50lb bag? Turns out there is a company near me that could possibly supply some after performing a quick google search. Hopefully they sell it and in red or purple.

Awesome just found a 25 kg bag of Pure Australian Red Garnet 30/40 grain size locally. 35 AUD not to expensive either.

I doubt I will switch to the red or purple garnet sand. I will probably leave my black diamond blasting sand that I already have in there. I like it a lot with the overall look of my tank. It also helps keep my fire eels' bodies nice and dark.

Now, I just have to figure out what to do with the goldfish that are in my 29 so I can clear it out to use as my grow out. I really like the size of the 29 for a grow out because it is super easy and quick to do massive water changes on. If only I could change the water on my 220 that quick. Lol

here is a quick way to drain that 220 to any level the bottom one has a 580 gph pump you can drain 50% in 11 min

Draining is actually not much of a problem. I use a Rio 20HF and 50ft of 1" vinyl tubing that drains the entire tank and most of the sump in about 8 minutes. It's the filling it back up that takes a while. Lol

Glad to hear you are going to get an endli!
You won’t be disappointed. Eventually you will catch the poly bug and want more polys.

I finaly did it!



I took my goldfish in today to clear out my 29. I had already turned the heater on last night so the temp was back up at 82.

Any idea if this guy is WC or CB?

Congratulations on the poly! It’s gonna be a sweet addition.

For CB vs WC: will need to see a full body shot with head.
