    Hello there! Yahoo!! You are so close to 1K!!! 😁 Great info. Most of my tanks are dirted and sand capped BUT my healthiest tank is actually a tank with a gravel substrate. I started using sand over time as I LOVE having Corydoras in my tanks. I think they are happier on the sand, but have not asked them yet 😉 🤣

    I have used amazonia substrate as only substrate in my nano tank with dragon stones and anubias pintos, the anubias does great, no fish no shrimps and a hang on filter and I change 1g water every two days, is that ok?! Or should I reduce the substrate by half, cover it with ada sand and this to reduce amonia?

    Its a huge pain in the ass to wash the sand that I take from local river. With that I decided to sift the sand to get the small gravel. Its a personal preference, but I'm against buying those expensive cosmetic sand on the market.

    You sure you didn't use root tabs in that tank with the grey patches?

    I think they’re my favourite snail type, very beneficial for an planted ecosystem style tank! 😁

    In my next setup i think im gonna try an equal mix of gravel, course sand and fine sand. I think I’d like the look of it, and think it would work pretty well.. I only have glass tanks though.. was is scratching the acrylic?

    The sand grains get caught in the cleaning pads and I end up scouring thd acrylic. It also made the bottom line hazy. I had gravel for years and no issue…..switched to araganite sand and I noticed the hazing within a few months. @@GingerFishyOfficial

    I am setting up a brandy stinking new “Clear For Life” acrylic 45S. It’s the same foot print as a standard 55 gallon but only 17 inches tall. I have 25 lbs of Spectrastone small black gravel going in. Nothing scratchy in this new tank………@@GingerFishyOfficial
