Gonna look awesome
Akasha72 said:how about getting a good handful of each, chucking it a bucket, mixing well and then spreading it out of a tray or something. That way you can look at what it looks like before you mix up the whole lot.
I might look really good or it might look really bad. You could lower the tray into the tank aswell and see how it looks under the lights before committing yourself

Akasha72 said:I like the grey unmixed and I don't mind the 1 scoop red and grey either... but then I like dark substrates. I wanted pure black in mine and I ordered black sand but it came as washed out grey. In the end I had no other choice but to use it and I don't mind it. I don't love it, but it's okay.
What I did find was - when I had play sand the tank seemed really bright, almost too bright and not easy on the eye for me being light sensitive. The fish colours seemed washed out too. When I got the 240 I decided I didn't want that 'look' any more and went with the black sand and it's easier on my eyes and the fish colours 'pop' again... and not just the fish colours either. The plant colours seem to stand out more against a dark background and dark substrate.
At the end of the day Ch4rlie it's your choice. Your the one looking at it every day
