Well we did the initial steps to get the 70G tank going.  Got some water cure
stuff and some new gravel.  Not quite enough gravel yet but wasnt sure how
much I would need.  Tomorrow, we take the tank out and clean it then water
tight test one more time to be sure it';s ok.  Then, in on the stand and fill
slowly.

Let it mostly fishless cycle after making sure the filters all work (may need
some new ones) and repairing the light hood (needs work, may replace if can
find a fitting one).

After 2 weeks, add 2 fish of a cheaper but keepable sort.  Wait plenty of
time to make sure the cycle took, then slowly add as time goes on.

This is a 70gT (tall) so is made for a fairly large number of smaller fish
but not as deep so cant handle comfortably any fish that get bigger than 8
inches, with 2-6 inch ones being optimal.  The lenght and height of the tank
is roughly like a 90G tank.
