Milet Posted June 29, 2007 Report Share Posted June 29, 2007 Does anyone have any good places in canterbury to find good substrate? I'd like to hear about all sorts but what im specifically after is something a bit bigger than sand but finer than the small pebbles at birdlings flat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted June 29, 2007 Report Share Posted June 29, 2007 what I do is buy river sand and seiv the bigger bits out with a large kitchen seive and place them (washed) on top of the rest of the sand to hold it down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alanmin4304 Posted June 29, 2007 Report Share Posted June 29, 2007 I use river sand from the nursary next to pet world Smiths St / Ferry Rd. Wash the coarser stuff and leave the silt in the rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
