Sand Issues

[Poly Pinni]

yeah I would get rid of that sand asap, mainly for your filter's sake. A sand that fine is inevitably going to mess with your filter's impeller. As mentioned above, try pool filter sand or blasting abrasive. I personally use floramax and love it

Is the floramax OK for the polys? Do they dig in it?

LOL! It is rather

Floramax are nice with poly, brings out the contrast on them.

Yeah I love the way mine look on it. They don't dig in it, but only one of mine dug in sand when they were on it, so no real difference

Brief update, swapped sand for garnet sand, no more snow globe! Plants looking much better. Poly's seem fine with the change

I'm dying to share but the tank they are in is hard to get decent pictures of as there's light hitting it from all sides but not much in the way of tank lighting. It's not impossible though, I just need to make more effort. The Spotties (ctenopoma) were out in force this morning and I would have loved to video them but it's hopeless at that time of day :-(
