Re: Sand
Most to any but the problem with sand is that it will compact and trap gas in it which becomes anerobic which in turn is lethal when disturbed. It will also make it harder for plants to root and eventually kill off the plant.
I learned the hard way but it works....
I have Tahitian moonsand in my first planted tank and what I used was Seachem's flourish root tabs to keep the plants healthy and dosed a lot into the water column to keep them feeding properly. After about six months or so most of my heavy root feeders started dieing off and a lot of bulb plants rotted giving the water a really bad smell. With sand you will have to steadily keep the substrate aerated whether you sift through it yourself or uproot and replant frequently.700g Mini-Monster tank -
Re: Sand
Sounds like a job for MTS or Koolie Loaches,
'Dear Lord,' the minister began, with arms extended toward heaven and a rapturous look on his upturned face. 'Without you, we are but dust ...'
He would have continued but at that moment my very obedient daughter who was listening leaned over to me and asked quite audibly in her shrill little four-year old girl voice, 'Mom, what is butt dust?'Comment

Re: Sand
MTS could barely get the job done since I intentionally added them to my tank in order to keep the sand aerated but I never tried Kuhli loaches.700g Mini-Monster tankComment

Re: Sand
