About the gravel. I got plain old pea gravel for my 30g. I think I paid around $3.00 for a 50lb bag.
Amanda, I hope everything works out for you. Money is tight all over and unfortunately it's the extracurricular things that take the hit.
Hang in there, it will get better.

Lucy - that's actually what I was planning on using, pea gravel. I like the natural look. Where did you get it?

Amanda, point out to your mother that your bath tub probably holds about the same amount* of water as your aquarium (and the weight of a person) and that doesn't have jacks under it.

*I believe a bathtub holds about 42 gallons

Yeah, money is tight. I barely break even every month but I don't mind spending the money on fishkeeping. Well, I feel guilty about spending as much as I do but honestly, if I didn't have this hobby, I'd probably go mad.

If you want a change, you could always go to Lowes or Home Depot and get a 50lb bag of play sand for about $5....very good deal there.

I do plan to drop an ungodly amount (probably to most here but small amount in reality for the species) for discus when i get back.
