JK Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 Are there anythings different when you use sand that you need to know for cleaning or planting etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BK Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 Sand is just soo much better than stones it's hard to start. I keep Discus and feed beef heart but only do a 50% water change weekly and no syphone the bottom at all. I just make sure that there are enough Corys to turn the top layer of sand over and your plants will grow better as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JK Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 Thanks guys So are you using 100% sand or stones on the bottom 1/2 inch or so topped with say 1/2 inch of sand? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
