Hi I have had my tank set up for the last few years but due to redecorating and also a large hair algae outbreak I will shortly be stripping down the tank and restarting from scratch ( apart from filter media obviously I will keep the filter running in a tub of old tank water while I move) my question is I currently use pool filter sand as my substrate and use root tabs etc but what would people recommend as an alternative, I am going to use a bottom layer of plant substrate but looking for a lighter top substrate not dark like soil but not White like pool filter sand....any suggestions?? Please advise!!!!
