growing aloe from seed-need help

Chapel Hill, NC(Zone 8a)

I just recently got a plastic baggie of unknown aloe seeds, from my DBF's grandfather. He did not know how old they were or anything about them except that they are aloes. I have searched the forums to see if I could find any information on this, but to no avail (maybe I missed something?) So far my plan would have been lightly pressing them into the soil, and keeping them covered with some plastic, near my grow lights, but not directly underneath....Has anyone had experience growing aloe from seed? and if so, any advice or tips that would help? I have a fair number of succulents that are doing quite well, but have never tried growing any from seed...advice would be greatly appreciated :-)

Those'll give you a general idea.

Whenever you have a question GOOGLE it. :) You'd probably get more information by searching for 'succulents from seed'.
