So my girlfriend bought me a 24 gallon nano cube for a late christmas present tonight and im siked but I need some quick help! I have been browsing this forum for a couple months now and im starting to get an idea of what I need....but not 100% yet. Here is the problem, she bought me two $20 gift cards to 2 different LFS's (haha im catching on to your guy's abbreviations!). You guys might be wondering whats wrong with that,but here is the catch....im leaving tomorrow at 9 AM to go back to school! Its gonna be fun loading this stuff into the Mustang and driving 3 hours. She bought me the 24 gal nano cube, 40 #'s of live sand, some chunks of rock (not LR), and a bottle of phosphate remover (I think), and a bottle of something else (forgot what it was and its packed already
). What kind of stuff could I buy before I leave tomorrow morning to get this tank started when I get back to school? Im thinking the stuff to mix for saltwater(how much, and certain brands?),
a testing kit (any suggestions?) and a glass cleaner? What else do I need to get this started? Would a few hermit crabs be able to make a 3 hour trip? I would be able to load them into a friends tank once I made it there. What do you guys think?
