This is a good point, one I agree with. The only downside is, many active plant substrates are good at buffering the water down to acidic pH, which is preferred by shrimp; also they hold tonnes of nutrients for plants.
However, many would argue that trying to balance the need of plants and shrimps is a no win situation, hence why many go with easy mosses, Anubias etc.
I just ordered some dennerle Fluval substrate last night, it's inert and smaller grained in keeping with the nano theme. Only downside is no buffering, but active substrates lose that ability anyway. Be interesting to see the results!
Nice! Let's see some pics of the substrate when you have it set up. I am thinking that if I do plants they'll be easy ones, so the fluorite should work fine. I am going to the LFS tomorrow to pick some up. Will see what options they have there.Found this for you, looks similar to your tank; if albeit smaller perhaps
Put in a 5 gallon pail and stick hose in bottom and let overflow. Or just put directly in the tank stir it up like crazy then add only filter floss to the filter. Switch out floss the next day do a water change and your doneNice! Let's see some pics of the substrate when you have it set up.

That's an awesome little tank, definitely a smaller version of the one we got.
If I end up getting the black sand I am going to wash the hell out of it. Anyone have any recommendations for this other than the regular rinse, dump, rinse, dump, repeat until water is clear?
For a second there i thought you did up another nano tank...Found this for you, looks similar to your tank; if albeit smaller perhaps
nope, not mine!For a second there i thought you did up another nano tank...
