I have had the above tank sitting empty for sometime while I consider what to do with it, although to be honest I bought a 215L about a week before and that has kept me busy!
I am planning to set it up as a planted tank, all my tanks generally have live plants but this one will be the showcase - I hope.
I have just ordered some terrace to divide the tank, with a view to having the back higher. I already have some JBL substrate and Unipac fine gravel/sand. I have been advised to use pea-gravel at the bottom of the base to assist in building up the height prior to adding the JBL and Unipac.
Can you tell me if there is anything I need to consider with this plan?
I am hoping to pick up the terrace and gravel tomorrow.
Thanks in advance for your responses.
NB: I will hopefully start a journal on the progression of this project.
