    play sand in all tanks except a few 'bare bottom' and 1 florabase 5gal. The best sand so far has been from Rona, 3 years ago. Super soft.

    hardwood leaves all tanks.

    Sand in one, stratum shrimp in another. Just picked up another 10g today, but I haven't decided what I'm doing with it yet.
