Look It Up
Hi, first I hope this is the correct forum for this question....
I am currently fishless cycling a 20 gal tall. I have standard black aquarium gravel, but I've noticed that it's starting to turn a whitish color, as if the black color is coming off. I have two types in there if I remember correctly: Top Fin and Estes; I can't tell if one or both are changing color as they are mixed but it's starting to look ugly.
Is there a black gravel that is recommended that won't turn color, or should I try a black sand (I like the black look best so I'd like to stick to it if possible). Also would completely changing out the substrate interfere much with the cycle?
Thanks!
