Habitat - Indoor :: Would there be any interest....

[Chrisbarnett]

In a sand picture tutorial to add to the sand FAQ?

I plan on adding some more sand tomorrow, and just bought a 50 lb of quickrete sand, I would take pictures of the whole process, from washing to putting in the tank.

I know most people have already switched to sand, but there is a slow steady interest in it, and i think maybe a photo tutorial would be a good addition.

So what do you think?

[Raphulk]

YES.
if anything its just cool.
Id be interest to see how people attempt to clean the sand.

[Chrisbarnett]

alright, sounds cool.
anyone else interested?

ill be doing it tomorrow after school, my normal tank maint. day.

[Selera]

I think that would be great. If nothing else it will help those who really are thinking about putting sand in.

[ftwftw]

yes please do it

[xfueledbykatie]

doooooo it.
i've had tons of try and fail moments with sand. :]
i would hav eloved to know how to clean it before i put it in.

I like to know how it works out......
Does the sand get stick in the filter?

[Chrisbarnett]

thats what i'm talking about, finally got some interest haha.

nc,
no the sand wont get in the filter if you keep the intake a minimum of 3" above the sand, I recommend 4". this allows time for the sand to settle before it hits the intake..

Yes, I would like to see it! Also, could you show how you clean the sand? I am very curious about how you clean it. I don't mean how you clean it before you put it in the tank, but how you clean it when you are maintaining your tank.

When I upgrade I would like to try sand.

[Chrisbarnett]

No problem! I'll make sure I take extra pictures during that process.

haha. this sounds like a video you would see in a high school marine biology class.

[crackerlady2007]

Oh PLEASE do!! I've been wanting to put some in mine, but I'm a little shy of the process.

I am looking forward to this - - I am on the fence about the sand, but this weekend the new turtle habitat is going be up and running....so I maybe there will be sand in my future after seeing the tutorial
