    Giving a new life to a unloved tank

    To add to lain's sugestion macrobrachium assamensis would do extremely well in your water :) Something a bit different. Also caridina simoni simoni would thrive without any alterations to your water and are different to what most people keep. If you aim for a tds of 200 ish you could keep...

    Capping sand with aquasoil or substitution?

    Sand capped with aquasoil will become stagnent which may or may not be a bad thing. If you are going to add a carpet id say it would be fine, otherwise youd be best off syphoning the sand out first.

    manado

    Its too light for a high flow tank. I tried as loww as 5x turnover and it left craters. Its fine so far with my macro shrimps though.

    paveing sand??

    I beg to differ. I can guarantee if i went and crashed my ph with lemon juice or ph minus my fish would all be affected. Similarly if i added ph up to a tank of wild discus they would drop dead.

    Washing Akadama prior to use.

    Put a hose in the bottom of a bucket ad pour it in around the hose ;) Leave it to overflow for a while and hey presto, although your water meter wont aprove.

    flora-grow nutri pus?

    Hasnt changed my ph, hardness etc at all. I did cap it but the sand got all dug into the base layer and no problems have arisen from having it exposed so i leave it how it is ;) Looks very natural to me like that.

    flora-grow nutri pus?

    You cap it off, i have done with sand and 'pink grit' which is like mashed up gravel when you wash the pink rubbish off. My suposed red plants are actually red now and im noticing more compact growth so its better than sand anyway :lol:

    clueless on the substrate :(

    i have a tank with a footprint of 50cmX200cm and i would like to know what substrate i could use for good effect with plants? it would also need to be smooth and be able to change it with the water in the tank as i cant practically remove 600litres of water to change the substrate lol.
