Tropical Garden Plant Ideas
The use of sand in a tropical freshwater tank?
I will be setting up a 15 gallon tank I bought gravel for the bottom, but I thought kuhli my loaches can enjoy a patch of sand. "I can use ordinary garden arena, if you wash thouroughly? Is it possible to have a place in the tank or finally spead in all senses? What if I just kind of flat rocks and plants, etc to hide the dish that did not look ugly? Any ideas? I do not understand why you say that simply be limited and stressed he had no intention of trying to limit to one area of the tank with them now on earth and that seem very happy. I was not planning a sand desert, I'm going to put in many plants, loach should be happy too. I really do not want a tank full of sand-colored, like a dark background is assumed the fish stand out better. According to wiki diatomaceous earth is abrasive. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diatomaceous_earth
If you have a patch of sand in a gravel desert, kuhli you will be very limited and very stressed, and the sand will be expanded over time. Instead, you can take the gravel back (or simply use for anything else) and use of pool filter sand, sand or even Petco sells (I used both and work great). Both are relatively cheap. 15 per gallon, it is likely who could pay $ 8 for sand at Petco (they say sand is Marina, but cross-laundering as it is now inert) or $ 15 for sand filter the pool (ground diatoms), while the sand comes in a bag PF 50 pounds, leaving you with a lot more to the left … In any case, wash the sand very well in a large bucket before adding to tank. When you add this, be sure to disable all filters. Do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. EDIT: For "desert" gravel, which referred to the absence of sand in other parts of the tank. If you put the sand into a single party, with gravel on the rest, will remain almost in the sand kuhl because it is easier for his beard and soft bodies. Housing is important, but if you have a choice, prefer to bury in the sand (where you do not see). EDIT 2: I have a tank 55 gallon planted with diatomaceous earth … It's a bit abrasive, but much less than the gravel. Petco sand is softer sand seriously you'll ever find. I Loches in the reservoir of diatomaceous earth and are absolutely beautiful – still enjoyed digging around, without prejudice to their whiskers, or any other body part.
