Rudles Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 Which is better for a planted tank. Dirted or deep sand bed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tihshho Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 That's not exactly an apples to apples comparison. Without ferts, dirted is the best of the two. With root tabs and liquid dosing, IMO I would go sand, but not deep. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mmiller2001 Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 More nutrients in the soil option, but sand works too. Soil will need a cap of sand or gravel and can be messy. Others here will give better details. Most plants grow fine in sand but some plants require a soil to do well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudles Posted September 8, 2021 Author Share Posted September 8, 2021 I have three dirted tanks up and running, one for three years, one for six months and one for two months. I'm considering doing one more with deep sand. Either the 20 high that's been running for three years or the 10 that I'm going to set up for a Betta.
