The sand I ordered arrived: EarthEssentials Quikrete play sand. The grain size is nice and fine, mostly sub-millimeter. Looks like the sharp edges are rounded off. Most people won't like the color, its the brownish stuff. They could have branded it as Canadian Sunrise Gold Reef Sand and sold it for $50 a bag, but as play sand it was $7 per 18kg.

I added 4.5 inches of sand into the fuge and plopped a shrimp in there to get the process going. There are a few rocks in there that I am prepping for another tank. There is enough room above the sand for 4.5 inches of water and vegetation. This can cycle while I'm waiting for the rock to cure in the display tank.

Who knew those 10 gallon aquariums from Walmart are made of tempered glass? I found out when I tried drilling the tank's overflow. POP!!!
 I have some porcelain tile sitting in the garage, I might use one to replace the broken side.

I put a new pane of glass on the busted aquarium and plumbed the two tanks together. The red line is the return, I might make it look a bit better sometime in the next few years. I will ghost feed the tanks and let them cycle in the dark for a few months.

A mandarin would be my ideal, they are a stunning fish. I'll see how big of a pod population this system supports before making my choice.
