Back to sand what you think

[Cackett]

well been a while now and i having a bad time with the gravel i know this may sound funny but its harder to clean than sand so its looking like another swap over

also with out a UGF i finding it hard to get it all Clean! all ah well back to sand!

just get a carpet plant like micro sowrd or something and then you wont even notice it

Thats what im doing. Also im getting some shrimp to eat of the bottom so its not a big deal to me about a clean bottom anymore

Well What you think then Go and by a ugf in stead of sand and plant fert!!!!

I have 4 tanks... 2 had UGFs...that I have since
removed and have put a 1 cm layer of sand....
both these tanks have no plants except for floating
or a big glob of java moss.....
In the 55 gal that had a UGF, I used a pasta strainer
and removed the larger gravel and kept the smaller
stuff.... have about 1.25" of 2-3mm gravel and have
the bottom covered with java ferns and drift wood.
I will never go with another UGF....
