The brick colored sand.

The first one is similar to what i have and it really doesnt much for the polys

I was thinking the same, but when i saw cohazard video in youtube he had this redish brown substrate thats why i tried the coffee, but i like the brick too, it has some red on it, it almost look like a red garnet.

Is this new substrate going to the new 180 u just got? Should start a progression thread.

Yup, its for the new tank. Im still looking around for more redder sand.

I like that brick sand, it looks very natural.

Add some reds, dithers, waterflow, and remove their hides. Polys will be much more active. After switching back to my reds in Tuesday. They've been this way frequently.

Brick sand would definitely make the patterns pop out more and look a lot better overall it
