Live Sand?

Yeah I plan on taking it slow with the fish. Clean up crew first, and slowly as well. I think just having them in there will be really neat to see. Even after having the tank sitting her empty I am excited to get the rock into it lol

In a 25 gal that deep (2-3 inches) of a sand bed will leave less room for rock

i think its fine for your first tank to buy some of the packaged stuff, just make sure it isn't expired :P
