Hey guys. I was reading through my aquarium book the other day and I saw some interesting this. First, the book often suggests using two layers of substrate.
For example, if you had a planted tank, you could use plant friendly substrate on the bottom, the some thing else on top. Then, your plants get fed nicely, and you have a pretty substrate that you see.
Yes I know that you can get pretty "plant friendly" substrates, but that's not my question.
Is this too much of a hassle? How do you keep them separated? What if I wanted to use sand?
