Hi.....as some of you may know i have a 7g bowfront aga aquarium. I decided it'd be the best idea if i were to stick with a fo and invert tank. i got the tank up and running today. i used about 1/4-1/2in of dead sand and seeded it with a cup of sand from my existing 20g tank. i also found 1 little tiny peice of lr burried under my sand...so i pulled that out of the 20 and burried it in my sand as well. i figure there should be a bworm or two maybe some pods and possibly some mini stars on the rock so i figured why not. and as far as water goes what i did was i took 3 gallons of water from my 20g tank and added it to about 3g of brand new water. i figure this should keep the tank cycle to a minimuim since i used stuff from my already existing tank. i am running a penguin 550 at about 1/2 speed pointed straight up for surface agitation. the tanks temperature is at 80 degrees. specific gravity is at 1.023 + or -. what do i have planned for this tank you ask? i am thinking along the lines of 1 fish. i want to keep the bioload low especially in a tank w/ such small swimming parameters. other tank mates would include...a few snails to keep nuisance algae at a minimuim, a small starfish probibly a serpant star or something of the sort. a feather duster just to give the tank a little something extra. and finally a single hermit crab to keep the sand stirred. also i am not going to be running my pc's over this tank i'm going to stick w/ the stock NO lamp ....i want to keep the tank as basic as i can so i dont cause any rucus with my RA at college. he wont say anything if he sees a stock tank but if he were to see my electrical skills or lack there of....he may say you'll have to ditch those and the last thing i want to do is cause a scene my first day at college. and yes i already checked EIU's only pet allowed are "fish" .....oh yes i almost forgot i will have one other thing helping to keep no3's at their lowest.....grape calerpa compliments of everyones favorite board owner "Reefland." questions, comments or concerns anyone?

Sounds like a good plan just watch the calurpa it can take over a small in days.
