I finally made the change - *New pics 5/4/07 - Aquarium Advice

Jchillin · 02-17-2007, 07:07 PM

I changed the substrate today. Nothing major. I'm just hoping the cloudiness clears up soon. I also purged the tank of all plants except for the Amazon swords.

Before

After

The new substrate is a combo of reg gravel, flourite and Shultz Aquasoil.

Ooooo, I like the new substrate much better!

JDogg · 02-17-2007, 07:18 PM

looks good, i hope those plants get to you this time, they will look nice

**Purrbox** · 02-17-2007, 08:13 PM

So what did you do with the plants that were removed?

Looks really good by the way!

Same here...they were supposed to be in there now. Thanks for making another attempt.

Sadly, they all went to the planted tank in the trash. Long story there. Time to start over.

Looking good, Bill. I really like it a lot.

plecoperson · 02-17-2007, 09:50 PM

That substrate looks great-worth the work and clouding, I think!

Wizzard~Of~Ozz · 02-17-2007, 10:07 PM

why did you do it? the blue stuff is great for plants.. Resin is a requirement (at least for plastic plants. OK, I'm just joking)

Looks much better and should allow for some much better growth. Hopefully the clouding dissipates.

Nice job, buddy! That is gonna look awesome when it grows back!
Just run a quickfilter for a day, the cloudiness is all gonna clear up.

Looks great!

Was all that stuff from the bucket or did you add to it?
