GrahamC Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 Do people use gravel tidies, and if so where to get or how to make one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirt Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 No, but I googled it, and people use mesh but now to fine, so the roots can still grow but it help separate the substrates? Is this what your looking for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamC Posted January 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 Yes, a gravel tidy is a fine mesh used to separate substrates and to also stop fish from removing the gravel above an undergravel filter. So, you would have UGF - gravel - mesh - gravel or sand .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrahamC Posted January 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 Here's a description of how they might be used in a marine tank http://www.alltropicalfish.com/content/view/109/101/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supasi Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 No, they are a pain in the butt. Try growing plants and then keeping the tank tidy when you need to uproot the plants. All you end up with is a mess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
