Yet another question regarding my forth coming planted tank project...
Currently the tank has a gravel bottom, which id say is 3-4mm gravel. Im looking to completley re-do the tank and heavily plant it up, and if this means ditching the gravel already there then so be it.
Ive read many of the threads on the forum about peoples own aquariums and im getting quite confused as to which way to go regarding substrate.
Whats the best type of substrate to use to create a planted tank? sand, fine gravel, a mixture?
Just as a point id quite like a dark (possibly black) coloured bottom...
Cheers
