Is there any benefits to sloping the gravel in a tank? (low in front/middle, higher in back/sides) I know it kind of adds depth to the tank. I've heard that it makes the tank easier to clean because a lot of the solid waste falls to the front where you can see it... Is that true?
I know it sometimes causes issues with growing plants, but at the moment I plan on using plastic plants...
I've also heard that it causes the gas that gets trapped in the deeper section of the gravel to turn toxic (similar to what happens in sand.)
So any andvantages or disadvantages? Thanks!
