friedrice Hobbyist Posts: 87 Kudos: 72 Votes: 3 Registered: 14-Aug-2004   | Wooo hoo i just bought a 100 gallon tank and im having difficulties deciding the substrate. I was wondering which colour should i go choose- black or white? Which colour goes best with a planted tank, mainly filled with dwarf hair grass, glosso, anubias. . . peace  |

Any plans for fish? That might help in the decision too. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is water at the bottom of the ocean |
