Converting planted tank into a multifasciotus tank

[GreenCircleGirl]

I have a 20 long multifasciotus tank. The little guys are multiplying. I have an established 38 gallon tank planted with crypts and Val with a pH of 7.4 with a coarse sand substrate. Can this be converted to a multifasciotus tank using wondershell? Other suggestions?

Yes, this could be converted. I would suggest sprinkling a layer of aragonite sand on top of the sand that you have. Don't worry about mixing the sand...the multis will dig it up in no time as I am sure you are aware. 🙂

The aragonite will offer buffer qualities that will bring the water parameters closer to what they will like, and also offer more "building sand". 

Just know that the crypts should be well established and rooted before adding the multis.
