Hi i was just wondering who is using some weird and wonderful
substrate i am looking for something new to try i have done cat littler
play sand compost capped with play sand sharp sand compost peat
mix so i was wonder if there was any thing else that is different
 
tried it when spawning cherry barbs
 
How did that go? i'd have thought the sand would have ended up below the cat litter, it is very light.
 
i have never used cat litter and sand together
 
can astro turf be used in a fish tank ??
 
AFAIK Astro turf is fish safe, They use the same type of plastic in malaysia as a packing material for Shrimp and Crabs to latch onto during transport.
In the past I have also used Painted Candle Gravel, the fine gold one looks very nice mixed in similair sized gravel.
 
Painted Candle Gravel never seen that one gill
 
Just because I have some :)
If I've got it right roots need oxygen etc so surely open cell foam is the best lol
This idea started because I through a foam filter into my tank to keep bacteria going and the bacopa sank roots into it !
 
i am going to start and grow moss on plastic cross stitch canvas
