Filter floss just turned up! Don't think I realised how much there is! This will last me forever!
But with sand you can't put un-potted plants.
Aquatic plants in pots are in rock wool. The plants need to be removed and have the rock wool removed, then plant it in the substrate so the roots can spread, anchor the plant, and absorb nutrients if they are root feeders.
Gone to plan! But cloudy!Awesome!!! Ha ha!!! You're set! Got your sand yet?
Excellent! Pics of tank please!! (When you're finished and happy of course!).
Looks fantastic! Really pleased for you!
I'm just setting my second tank up and I'm going to use arena Milano , basically fine light (not white) sand, I'm quite looking forward to it now I've seen your before and after pics ,
Dumb question ... Does it have to be silica sand ? Arena Milano is regular sand . I'm going to try to get some play sand today , lord knows where from ! Ah to have an Argos at hand lol...
Cheers , I think it might have to be pool sand at least I know I can get that nearly anywhere, bloody useless over here ! Thanks
I live in Tenerife,, surrounded by sand lol.. Just the wrong sort ! No the supermarkets don't sell anything like that, there's a swimming pool place near us I might just pop in there later to get some, roughly how long did it take to clean properly ? And how much would I need in a 80 litre ?
