it's fine to put your gold-rimmed cup in your tank, it won't affect your water except if your water is 1064 celsius

Thank you, Miyazawa. n__n That's exactly the answer I was hoping to get, aha.

Anyone on the gravel? It's on its second round of boiling right now. Cleaning out all the random debris was a chore, so I'm hoping these past two and a half hours haven't been in vain.

Hmmm...for the beach gravel stuff, first I would take some tank water, put it in a bucket, then put clean gravel-stuff in there, and monitor the pH, etc of it. Then decide based on that and more experienced answers.

That's all I know.
