sangodh Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 I currently have fluval stratum but Its just a mess every water change. I know carib sea is a good option but would I have to remove the old or could I get away with just topping it off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJs Aquatics Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 this is probably a preference thing because eighter way will work. You could remove the old, and if you went that route I would suggest just a little at a time rather then all at once. Or you could cap it with sand if you don’t want to take it all out and don’t mind the look… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nabokovfan87 Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 It's going to mix. Always will. What is the use case for your substrate, do you just want something "good" or a certain visual? Is there something specific in the tank that needs anything? If you want to cap it with sand, then you're basically looking at 2.5" or higher thickness of sand. If the stratum has already turned to mush, then you're probably just at the time where you need to change it out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sangodh Posted March 10 Author Share Posted March 10 Mush is an issue with it. I know what a cloudy disaster it was putting it in. If I can cap it without that hassle or worrying about crashing my cycle I think I'll just go that route. Thanks you guys! I appreciate the help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
