slow 200 build

[BrAin]

Sorry, my computer isnt working right so I havent been able to post. My 2 year old "hacker" did some thing to the laptop and it hasnt worked right since then.
Tank has been ok but not the greatest. That DIY wet dry needs some more money but I havent been able to mess with it much. I cleaned it really well last month and almost lost the whole tank. I think I lost 5 fish in the end. All is well now and the fish are happy. The texas are starting to get some better color too.

I'll try and get a recent picture soon. I had to remove the swords b/c the fish trashed them. I added some corkscrew val that was taking over the smaller tank. We'll see how long it takes for them to eat these.

Re: slow 200 build

the blasting sand is actually bad for them it slowly wears out the fins of the fish that swim on the bottom

I had bichirs and several other bottom dwellers. They seem fine and perfectly happy. Even the bichirs dig underneath the sand and the fish love to grab mouthfuls of the sand and spit it out. None of them have cuts or worn fins.

I found that sand blasting have a lot more dust than psf
I wash twice the times the blasting sand

I have Black Beauty. Same thing as the Black Diamond but different brand. The texture I bought is very similar to LPFS. The only difference is the dust. Black Beauty/Diamond has a ton of it because it is made from coal slag abrasive. It isn't that bad once you wash it really well.

I would say the black diamond is slightly heavier and there is a slight difference between it and the pfs. I will have to get my hands in both to compare for better information. It seemed to have alot more dust compared to the pfs.
