Aquarium Advice Addict
Hi, I found out yesterday that my tap water has high nitrates. Someone told me to heavily plant my aquarium because plants "gobble up" nitrates. I like the look of live plants and am considering it. However, I have only planted plants in gravel. The substrate in this tank is play sand. I'm wondering if there is anything much different about planting in sand than in gravel that I need to know. Once I heard someone talking about "having plenty of trumpet snails" when planting in sand. Do I need them?
