substrate?

[milkman407]

Should i leave it barebottom? sand, gravel, or those big river rocks?

And if i do sand what color?
i will have either nothing in the tank or alota driftwood.

what you plan on keeping??

Personally i like substrate in my aqauriums. All in preference though!

That isn't a question we can answer... Only you can answer that one.

I would imagine you are talking about what to do with your new tank that is coming. I would either go sand or gravel, I just think a barebottom would look cheap. I am a huge fan of driftwood too.

My friend just picked up no like like 100 peices of d/w they range from 2ft to 8ft..

Also i'm gona be keeping these fish

dats
arowanas
clown knife
Pbass maybe
And if i buy this asian spotted rtc he will go in there.

i was thinking black sand, with a black painted back. and some drift wood but im up for other things.

Sounds like the tank is going to be good looking, again I dont think you can go wrong with lots of driftwood. With the black sand and background, that should bring the colors out in your fish really well.

If I was setting up a new tank I would really fine sand, a natural color. So don't get an under gravel filter.

white sands looks very coooooooooool.

go bare

Pea gravel has the natural look too. I like the natural look.

I think black sand would look artificial to you after a while. It will look cool at first, but then...
