myfishybuisness Posted July 19, 2011 Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 Will i need to increase light levels? so i don't nuke my tank with algae. :smln: probaly a good idea to , also load it with plants at the start and add co2 this will stop the algae from getting any nutrients, then just thin out the plants as the tank matures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alanmin4304 Posted July 19, 2011 Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 I have used it in all my planted tanks with greywacke sand over the top and I have found it a good source of micronutrient in low and high tech tanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Li@m Posted July 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 So if i put a fine layer of gravel (1-2mm in size) over the top of the aqua plus it wont leak into the water column. ATM i have 2-5mm gravel will that be ok? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zev Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 It lasts even less as a substrate for plants when your PT 'Moliwe' start undertaking huge excavations to make egg laying possies :-? I kept wondering why my water was cloudy every now and then until I caught them at it, digging under the driftwood to make not so small defensible caves.
