Hi all,
I'm looking to redo a planted aquarium which are mucked up first time around.
I want to know what type of dirt to put at the bottom because there seems to be so many different types I wasn't aware of.
I have a gravel heater then I was going to put the dirt then cap it off with black sand.
I was going to put mollies neon tetra and a pleco in it. (180ltr)
The tank also has a heater an LED jewel light and an external filter.
The position of the tank means it gets a good bit of sunlight midday. My last aquarium my head there had java moss which constantly grew and grew.
So aquarium plants which need a lot of light would be suited.
I was going to put in liquid fertiliser & co² I wasn't going to bother with a co² unit
So what is the best dirt and how deep should it be and how deep should the layer of sand be on top?
Best regards
Fei
