My 6x2x2 Before and After

[Monolicious]

Hi All,

Well after a 3 months of combating snails I decided to take out all my gravel and wood so as to eliminate the dreeded MTS.
What I did was removed all the gravel about one quarter at a time so as not to upset the BB in the tank and threw it in the bin. I then took out all my driftwood and plants and let them sit in the sun for around 2 weeks.
I then got myself some new black substrate and put that back into the tank.Then added all my wood and plants back to their original positions.
It's been 1 month since doing so and so far so good not a single sign of the snails.

Looks really, really nice. Black substrate and background always make the colours of fish "pop"

I sold the Dat as he and the aro were not seeing eye to eye, the Gar is still there check out the second pic and the tinfoil barb is in another tank as the Aro doesn't like him.

Ironically, your tank with the fake background did not look bad at all. Looked pretty good.

I did the filters a couple of days after taking out the gravel.
