Thanks All.
First question re water. Heard it best to take as much of the tank water as possible. Then read this interesting article - http://www.fishchannel.com/fish-maga...-aquarium.aspx

Thoughts?

Welcome to the mad house. Check your sanity at the door and enjoy your stay :-)

Oh and don't forget to start a build / tank journal! :-D

I have started crying already LOL. But, I'm sure I'll be crying a lot more if the wife finds out the real costs associated with this hobby. I used to be able to get away with spending on my last hobby (motorbikes), as I could say I had to have it as it was a safety issue.
What excuses can I use now?

It was on sale, smokin deal, offer too good to pass up. I always get busted either going to or coming from the lfs. One time I was in a store and in walks the bf because he saw my car in the parking lot. He called before he came in to see what I would say.......ooops

Welcome to the board! Great people here!

Tell her that if you dont buy it, it could flood the floor. Don't know how long you could use that one for though

No, waste of time. Just premix new. Same goes for substrate.
