Hi
I've got 3 20lb bags of Caribsea Tahition black moon sand to go in my new tank and trying to decide if I should use some sort of nutrient layer underneath it for the plants. In my current tank I have some Oliver Knott Nature soil which is about 1.5 years old but is still mostly intact granules - but I guess there might not be many nutrients left in by now ? I was considering trying to save some cash and reusing it underneath the sand cap. Maybe I could add some ferts underneath it and then break it down into a sort of dirt, and then cap with the sand.
Any thoughts on whether this is a reasonable suggestion and what I might add if anything ?
Thanks
Paul
