My
Quarantine Tank
: Sand Substrate Test
This tank, was to test the viability of using sand as a substrate in
an aquarium
Material: |
Sydney Sand, purchased at Bunnings Warehouse for $5.35 AU for 20Kg |
Results: |
Tank appears much nicer, with a more natural
feel to it. The blue acara in the tank seems to enjoy it, by swallowing then spitting sand for fun The dirt accumulates at the top of the sand, so makes it easier to clean (when you get the hang of vacumming sand) |
Conclusion: |
I recommend you give it a try, instead of boring old gravel. Just be carful with your filter intake, Either reposition it higher, or add a course sponge to the intake to prevent sand from entering your filter. |
