Wow...that "stand" makes me nervous. You've got $25k floors and you're using a Walmart book case to hold a 55 gallon aquarium??? Looks like press-board, no?

"That hat balances on your head, like a matress balances on a bottle of wine". -Bob Dylan- Leopard skin pill box hat.

One other tip that helped me in the past. When setting up a brand new tank, have your pet shop give you (or sell you), a nice sized scoop of gravel from a mature tank. Mix it in with your new gravel to help get the bacteria cycle started. Add maybe one Molly or two and in a day or two you should be ready to start populating your tank.

Man....that stand has me nervous.
