- Start date
Already went back with the same gravel but starting to wish I would have went with sand.Only took one hour to scrap mask and repaint the tank.All the work was cutting the piece to fit.It's like hundreds of years old and took 4 saw saw blade to cut.It also took awhile to get all the gravel out and the tank and clean it for silicone.Bad thing is the tannin are worse than I was hopping.I will take picture tomorrow when I put the pumps one the back instead of the front.The paint was still wet when I filled it
Nice piece of driftwood. I wanna do sand, but it just seems like it is more difficult to vac and otherwise. Someday......

The sand you get at the hardware store is a pain to clean cause its fine and some comes up with it. And more flies around the tank while your bottom dwelling fish are swimming about. But I used pool filter sand in one of my tanks and I will defiantly pay the extra money for that. easy to clean and sinks in seconds.
Btw nice piece of driftwood
I use playsand, and didn't have much trouble cleaning it. I poured it abotu halfway up a 5 gallon bucket and ran it under water stirring it with my hand until it ran clear, took about 10 minutes to do the whole bag.
The first tank I used it in i didn't wash it and had to do 3 100% water changes and after that + a week it was mostly clear. After I started washing the playsand, my last tank took about 20 minutes to clear up.
