Default 75 gallon setup

Well after about 2 months, I finally got almost everything I need to set up my 75 gallon tank. Its in the process of filling with water (which will take about 6 hrs with this procedure). I sacrificed time (got plenty of that today being home) for ease. This way I didn't have to rinse my substrate. I'll post pics in a few hrs to show you how its going. Its about 1/5 done right now. Still waiting on my plants to arrive (Tuesday) but I'll throw some fast growers in for now.

I am in all essence, trickling water into the tank. Keeps the dust down from unwashed substrates. As you may or may not know, 99% of planted tank substrates are calcined clay. Very dusty and not much you can do about it.
