No worries, although naturally depending how you scape your tank you may need find you'll possibly need a little more or less dirt...

But for this tank i used the following:

2 bags of:

ADA Amazonia New - Large grain soil 9L bags (for base substrate) (USD $41)

1.5 bags of:

ADA Amazonia New - Fine grain soil 3L bags (for top layer of substrate) (USD $46)

Okay, quick question... are these water fleas or are they baby shrimp?

The reason i ask is i didn't notice any pregnant CRS in my tank and all of a sudden today i notice these white things that sort of resemble a shrimp, but i'm guessing could also be water fleas? they are atm between 1mm - 2mm long (pics taken with macro lens)

Anyway, any input would be much appreciated...
