Now i thought it was supposed to stink...(icebear's barebottom)
But it didn't at all....
its not all settled yet and everyone is still mad... got some more detritus to siphon out later when it all collects in one place.
Took a long time- at least 2 hours i lost track. But i just got it done a few minutes ago. I need more powerheads.
Seems the sandbed displaced about 10 gallons of water, more or less...it took 2 5gallon pails of new mixed IO plus a little more after cause that wasn't quite enough.
But at least the hard physical part is done.
I need more powerheads..... i want a tornado in there.... 
Hey, look:
No more GREEN tint!

nice bare bottom you got there, icebear!
also, if you want some serious current flow, look into tunze turbelle stream powerheads. i'm running 2 of them in my new 125, the 6060 and 6080.

Icebear, not "over", they'd blow them "out!"
