Okay, so my lovely husband gave me a saltwater aquarium (29 gallon BioCube HQI, more specifically) for our anniversary. Some of you might roll your eyes because it's not "romantic" or jewelry. Whatever! I just advise you to stop reading now... It's amazing! I am so excited! Anyway, we had to wait about a week to get the stand, but that was ok. This is a picture of it on setup day with 20 lbs of Bahama Oolite sand in it. This is a super fine grain sand. The guy at the store had me sold on it from "crab tracks." I'm such a sucker! Anyway, we used the Instant Ocean salt and mixed our own water. I have a kitchen scale, so we used that to mix it according to the directions. It's a little murky right now, but it will clear up. The sand came with a packet of "stuff" to make the water clear faster, but since we were going to be gone all weekend anyway, we just let it run it's course...
