Fish Fanatic
I decided to visit a lfs not too far from my place. I went in and asked the person there "what kind of sand do you sell here?" And he told me he sold this gravel and that gravel... and i said i wanted sand... he looked at me as if i was mad. He said "you cant put sand in a FW tank, its not possible. It will create too much nitrite and nitrate readings." I was then quite surprised by what he said. I then followed by saying "So, you've never seen or heard of anyone using sand in a FW tank before?" And he said "it isnt possible, it will create too much nitrite and nitrate readings and all the fish will die." I then followed by saying "Alrite, fair enough." He said "Trust me, i have been in the business 20 years and blah blah blah".
Then i thought i must be mad if all ive been reading was that the best substrate for my cories was sand... but this guy told me you cant put sand in the tank...
anyways, just wanted to share that.
