Hi All
I am wondering what is the best substrate out there for the cost.
I have decided that I am going to rescape my 400 litre tank, 150x52x60,it has too many plants and to be honest does not look great visually, too much green and I never actually see any fish.
Its a low tech tank, roughly 1.4WPG I think, I have CO2, add Flourish every week, if I remember, the plants do grow, slowly but since adding some white spot med, everything just looks dead or not great.
I would like Black Sand as top layer, I have normal sand at the moment, with numerous root tabs in it.
I have been looking at Tetra, JBL and Tropica substrate, which would be the best for cost and how much would I need, if the chart is correct for Tropica, I think that I may only need 2 of the 5l bags.
Or is a bottom substrate not worth it with my set up and I just continue to add root tabs?
Thanks
Dave
