Ooo! The tank looks lovely! I like the cave thing on the left. Did you go with playsand? What are your other plans for the tank scape?

So far as too cleaning the sand, google "how to clean sand substrate", there are some great you tube video's on the subject. I will be changing to sand from gravel.

 

[leannaby]

Yes I went with the playsand.. It took ages to clean first.. That cave is for my adf.. Hopefully they will love it. Planning on having a few more plants in there

Here's my tank now with my adf and corries.. Love it my adf are out so much more now

The hideaway rocks were off eBay.

May I ask what brand hose are? I'm not finding that type, only the ones with large openings on multiple sides.

Tank looks great. Sand is a pain to wash/clean but is definitely worth it. Can you copy/paste the address for these. I would love to get some for my future cichlid tank......

I've got black sand and picked up one of those siphon tubes that has a gate before the hose part that blocks large pieces getting sucked in. I put a small ball of pantyhose in it to keep the sand from getting siphoned. Stop the water flow, let the sand back out near the bottom, and wring the ball out in clean water after.
