I'm a pretty tech savvy guy but for the life of me I can't seem to make this thing work. I bought it to control WRGB but so far all I seem to do is shock my cichlids into panic with how frequent it changes. I have similar products on other aquariums but the 450L is my most important but again...

Welp it's about the grade and density of the sand. I'm not an expert as you can tell from my own thread but finer grains/grades are more susceptible to being blown around. It can be a bit of a conundrum especially if your new to sand but the folks here will help you through it. Also, aim your...

@dw1305 Nope not intentionally lol I will post pics of the sand later today. It's working brilliantly although it took an absolute age to clean before going in. Doesn't move around in the flow and when raised quickly sinks making cleaning very easy. Best of all, it's completely inert!

@Kev_M I pulled the trigger on the sand you linked above. Is it possible for you to post some pics of your tank with this sand in it for future reference?

Hi @Kev_M I have no idea who Darrel is but if you have used it and can vouch for it then, pleaase re-link me and I'll give it another glance.

Do they ship internationally. At this point I'll take an inflated shipping price just so long as I can get some sand!

Thanks @Andrew Butler I'll take a look. Yetserday I cam across JBL sand. Super expensive but I was going to give it a try until I recognized that they didn't have any info on grain size. I then went to youtube and saw this... The first 4 seconds are sufficient.

No @alto My apologies for the confusion. I don't think sand reduces nitrates, plants do. These discus eat a lot and in 3 days they've already pushed the nitrates high. I've managed to drop the nitrate via plants. Namely pressurized CO2, TMC liquid ferts (without nitrate) and plants. I was...

Hello @X3NiTH I have actually looked at this sand from a facebook group and was told it raised PH so I've ruled that particular brand out. I've never, tried sand before and had no idea how daunting the process of finding one that's suitable is. I really need to get a easy to clean light...

Hi @sparkyweasel Thanks for the input. Unfortunately I searched the vendors site but found no sand which is lighter in colour.

I'm still yet to find a product that comes close. I need about 25KG if anyone has a link to sand which is of the heavier/larger grain please post it here.

The larger grade or as @dw1305 put it "0.8 - 2 mm (8/16 grade)" basically anything that does stir as easily as I've seen in some youtube vids.

Finally got quotes to work I've exhausted amazon and haven't found a single product that is the grade I need and inert with some reviews. It's harder than it seems and I'm usually really good at looking for things but this seems like some type of conundrum.

Thanks guys @dw1305 the sand you linked me to doesn't specify whether or not it's inert but the grade info is crucial so thanks @jkh13 I don't have the grade size with any of the sand in the link.

Hey guys I don't have a whirlpool effect in the tank. An FX6 and a mid power range power head is not going to create anything more than the gentlest of currents. Right now the flow is just enough to prevent dead spots. I tried quoting all of you but for some reason it's not working for me...

Hello my fellow hobbyists. I am new to sand as a substrate and I'm very confused about what type to go for. Most importantly is that it's inert because my stocking (Discus) are sensitive to changes to PH. But what I'm finding frustrating is the "blown around in the current factor. I have a...
