what sand?

To recreate the natural habitat of my bluegill I think I would have to throw in an empty beer can.

LOL you are hilarious.


I use sand.. but again, like so many times before, i kind of regret adding it in the first place.. sand gets into filters and pumps ... its a big pain ! The only redeeming factor to me is that i get to watch my rays bury themselves and the tiger shows better color in dark sand.

im currently using playsand. i didnt find it to be a pain at all. as mentioned u do want to thouroughly clean the sand. the best way ive heard to go about cleaning it is to take a bucket full of the sand, place it into a ice chest or cooler and hose it down. alot of the loose dust will spill out with the water. u will lose quite a bit of sand but whats left will be very clean and easy to manage. hope that helps.

Sand is ok, you just have to remember to pound it. Pound that sand. Pound that sand.

(WoW you are impatient... you only gave us 4 min.

Never used sand I keep all my cichlids on gravel or a bare tank. As you have found sand is a pain in the butt.

I guess you ment to thank us in advance for our help.)



Yeah, sorry about that, first time, didn't really know how this all worked, I thought it was like an automatic reply, lol.

If you click a reply button to open the reply window then click where it says "quote message in reply" it will save you from having to type it in.

I just copied and pasted it, but that is even faster, thanks. I think with a little help from you veterans I'm getting the hang of this site. Now If I could just figure out how to post a picture....
