Yeah, I'm using a combination of FLOURITE BLACK SAND and SEACHEM TAHITIAN MOON BLACK SAND in my 225. It's got a 50/50 mix of about 200 lbs each. I use liquid ferts and flourish root tabs to provide additional nutrients. My plants are growing well in fine sand.
FSM that looks amazing. I have play sand in my tank right now, playing to use some easy to grow plants. From what I've read so far, you can use sand; using liquid fertilizer or root tabs.
I need root tabs I have found flourish tabs 10 pk for 6.25 and 40pk for 19.00 plus shipping is there anymore tabs out there that are better quality and price
