I have a little 6.6g tank. It has been up for almost 4 weeks. I have it planted with eco-complete, but not enough plants to cover the bottom. So when I do water changes I get the big cloud and it clogs my filter impeller.
What would you suggest to use on top of it? Flourite (they have onyx, which is a charcoal gray when wet) -- I heard there may be a black flourite, but the store said he would have to check to see if anyone has it he can order from -- or tahitian (sp?) moon black sand? Or something else.?
What do you think would be easier to clean?
If it were not for the clouding I'd leave it the way it is because it looks really nice. But I do need just a bit more substrate to fill in a few places and cover roots...
So what do you think?
I still need to get some MTSnails right?
I have never used sand before..
The tank originally was set up to be a growout tank for my bichirs. Now it may end up being a shrimp tank or I'll add my bettas or some guppies?? I don't know. It is 2.27wpg light, which is why I am rethinking the bichir thing. I just read they like low light, (1-1.5) and I have always had them in just natural light in a darker area of the house....
ANyway. Any suggestions?? Thanks.
