Thanks for the response to the 'Q'!

We go on vacation for the first two weeks in July out of state so my 'new to me' 110g is waiting until after we return for the fill. I bought two of Kens 75g soil kits for this project. The sump modification is completed and the plumbing run in the garage checking for leaks was finished last week. I'll be using Flourite original for the cap material. Pool sand was used in a 10g refugium I set up last month with just a sprinkle of flourite mixed in, about a 10:1 ratio. I also set up a Walstad style 55g tank filled on 4/30/09. Sand was planned for the cap on it but I changed to flourite again because I read several posts regarding gas exchange issues using sand over natural soil with organics intact.

Hopefully time will allow another tank journal on the 110g when I get it set up.

Best of luck with your new tank set up.
