I used about 25-30 pounds from my nano tanks to start my 70 and added 45 more pounds new. Worked out good. I washed the sand as another had said... and let the tank cycle WELL. Dont toss your sand. It is definitely usable. Garden hose, colander and pail. And a couple hours of patience and wash and rewash.

I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.
