Had a change over the last couple of days.

removed the gravel from both tanks and replaced it with a subtrate - JBL Manado.

Tanks look alot nicer and IMO not so childish and more natural. Also this has made my Shrimp tank cystral clean!

And my Corys seems alot happier sticking there noses to subtate where the gravel looked very unkind.

The one thing I'd have suggested changing is the substrate. So ... awesome! I use JBL manado in one of my tanks and it's great - very natural looking.

Yea love it. So clear just cleaning time soon and not sure its the syphon will suck it up.

Yea love it. So clear just cleaning time soon and not sure its the syphon will suck it up.

It's quite a light substrate - I have to weigh mine down with a little sand - so you'll have to be careful with a vacuum.

Just cleaned both tanks.

Was a case of slighty touching the surface and then removing from the water to let it all settle again.

Now just need to clean the small tanks glass and done

Ill try get some picture in a bit

Cool, substrate looks identical to Tesco Low dust cat litter.

Thanks Tizer. Tescos Value is the best

Heres the big 64L tank and have to say there very active tonight

Sorry for the breeding net in the picture but found platy fry last night

Looking sooooo much better now great job. I reckon in the smaller tank if you can prop it up safely, flip the bogwood over and attach the moss to the top. Would make an awesome tree
