It will definitely increase the Ph, due to the number of shell fragments present in it. I'd also be worried about the salt presence. I don't know, I've never used it for planting.

Thanks guys :D I'm going to go with one of the homebase sands. I want quite a bright looking one :) Master3z, I have beach sand in my cichlid tank, its not the best looking, quite dark, takes years to wash and is full of mussel shell fragments!

Thanks mate that's helpful :D

Have you got any photos of how you used it mvasingh ? :)

Was thinking about doing a play sand "beach" in my 30L tank at home. It has natural Lava Rock from the Giants Causeway in it (Don't tell anyone I took it!) There's a lot nicer rocks there ON the actual causeway than the hexagonal basalt columns. I'll post a picture of it soon ! Anyway, I'm...

I'm sorry to hear about your loss Darrel. I was going to get some Chili Rasbora from Kesgrave Tropicals, they were a great price.. But they're ridiculously small! I'd be afraid they'd be sucked into a filter intake, no matter what the flow level. That's lucky eh! Hopefully its a pair, I'd be...

Going to set up my 30L soon, and thought I'd ask the UKAPS community for some advice first. I'm going to go with cat litter I think. I have some Osmocote that I received from someone kind on UKAPS for underneath the substrate. Just the final question now, which one to use? Obviously I won't...

Ah thanks. I see, just fertiliser tabs then? I'll need a small amount for a 30L tank . Do they only sell big boxes? Where do you get it anyway? Thanks, Kris

Is osmocote cheap then? What exactly is it?

Peaches, I have Fluval Shrimp Stratum in my 30L.. It seems to be fine for the plants and and shrimp and is said to be good for breeding shrimp as the baby shrimp can swim down between the gaps in the substrate - for safety. But I have read on another american forum that this certain substrate...
