Well ive had my tank for about 3months now. an its got quite large rough gravel its white an blue stuff from the LFS but ever since ive seen tanks with sand or fine gravel.
so a couple of questions
where would i buy sand for the tank ? LFS or builders merchant?
i presume a good 1- 2" level is needed at the bottom of the tank (29gal)
after i put the sand in roughly how long untill it settles?
any suggestions on what to do with the fish (i have 2 large buckets but no spare tank) as will be getting a larger tank when current occupants grow to big.
i have a few plants that are just pushed into the gravel right now so im not sure if they would live in the sand or not.
fish in the tank for this change are 1Fire Eel / 2x Khuli's / 2x Common Plecs / 2x Hoplo Catfish.
so would this be a good idea or just change the gravel for much finer stuff?
comments very welcome altho overstocking comments are not.
thanks
