Just a quick question
I went to purchase some back gravel (the fake stuff) to put in my new 280litre tank which I'm setting up as a community tropical Aqaurium.
However the guy at the shop recommend me to buy used gravel (the ones that help plants grow, not the fake stuff)
He said its better because it has bacteria already in it so I don't have to wait to long. My current tank is completely new with nothing in it ATM.
The guy said that the fake gravel increase ph while the ones he wants to sell me (the used stuff from his display which is in buckets) helps lower it.
Any advise would be much appreciated.
Thanks heaps
Danny
