Substrate experiment

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Yea I need one of those for my 75g. The cheapo led I have on it now makes all of my pics look blue.

Been reading some of the recent lighting threads and from what i see im going to stick with the current usa plus i dont think i could do without the custom colors. Think there is a pro model... buy it and let me know if you likey likey :)
 
J jaws7777 , what is that size considered? Seems a bit fine....

Color looks good!

It is much heavier than the other stuff though i think i may try the next size up for the new tank

Was a bit harder than washing pfs but the tank wasnt too bad when filled. I drained it while adding the sand, that helped.
Was it hard to take out the cloudy water when washing it?

Heres what it looks like under the settings i use most. The water was real cloudy but i am definitely pleased with it sonce i was worried that it would be purpleish and a waste of money.

Dosed the ridx hoping it will help with the inevitable bacteria bloom.

1st pic is the old sand.

I figure i'll get the bv, koloton, and new congi in there tomorrow then wait a few weeks and post some pics of them on the different substrates.

Do a before/after like when you first put them on the new sand and then an after, after they color up. That way you can see the difference it's made.
