I have the most of the gravel which is about half the size of a pea on average.

It looks like, from what I've read on the forums, mosst people prefer the Sea Floor... How much should I use for a 90 Gallon tank?

Right now I am getting ready to buy my live rock, but I'm not going to do that until I have my sand ready... What about a Plenum? Do I have to make a Plenum? I'd ratehr just put the sand or gravel CC whatever in there and let the hermit crabs deal with it...

Any suggestions are welcome.

Thanks

Also don't rinse the sand??? Won't it be cloudy for a while?

I have a 75 gal tank (started 4-14-08,) First I added my rocks, about 90 pounds. I let that sit for a week or so, next, I've added 80 pounds of fiji pink sand (sugar sized sand) It's not live, but, over time, it will be live. I've read so much about crushed coral, don't do it. so I didn't. Add your rocks first, worry about sand second. Let the rocks process for a week or so, then add the sand.


_________

75 gal; Seaclone protein skimmer; 2 Stealth heaters (200 watts); Marineland 360 canister filter; 2 koralia 3 powerheads; Crappy lighting; 90 pounds of fiji live rock; 80 pounds of pink fiji sand; 5 red leg crabs; 10 blue leg crabs; 5 turbo snails; 3 blue/green chromis; 1 clown; 1 Diamond goby; 3 PJ cardinals
