I really like the look of your mix. I wonder how loaches like the texture.

Hi Bentley, I just started watching your substrate 101 and find very helpful. I appreciate you taking the time to make it. Can I use caribsea natural peace river as a cap over Fluval Stratum?

Hi David, I appreciate your advice. It really helps. I am not ready to get into CO2, but maybe down the road. I will check out Bentley Pasco's videos. Thank you!

Hi Brandy, Its a 55 gallon. I was actually toying with the idea of mixing my sand with larger particles. Thank you!

It is not completely depleted. I put in some wisteria lately and it rooted really quickly and is doing well. I've ran the tank for about five years, so I am sure its getting towards the end of its cycle. The main reason for the change is that I would like to try something new with higher light.

Nothing was wrong with my dirted tank. I just want to try going with more light and better selection of plants. With my dirted tank I had to go with low light or else the algae would go nuts. The reason for an inert substrate is that I would rather supplement with fert as opposed to having to redo the substrate once it is depleted. I also want to have clear water, which was hard to achieve with a dirted tank.

I have been running a dirted tank with a pool filter sand cap, but I am going to tear it down and start over. I am going to go with a heavily planted tank with a Fluval 3.0 light and a new substrate. The problem is that I really like the look of the pool filter sand and the smoothness of it for Kuhli Loachs and such, but have read that it is not great for growing plants. I don't want to go the route of having to replace my substrate because the nutrients are depleted, so I plan on using inert material and supplementing with fert and root tabs. I'd like a sand like substrate that doesn't break my budget and will be good for bottom feeders and plants. Any suggestions are most appreciated. Thank you!
