sora Enthusiast Posts: 184 Kudos: 96 Votes: 134 Registered: 28-Feb-2007	Edited by sora hey everyone! i just got the gravel for my new 55 after like 4 weeks of not being able to buy it. its not sand like i orginally wanted but its still pretty cool! its this small size dark black gravel. i think it will look pretty cool with some drift wood i found at the store. didnt pick that up yet. anyways lol i was just so excited i felt the need to tell people! i might try and post some pics of it later or i might wait till the DW goes in. The true test of character is not how much we know how to do, but how we behave when we dont know what to do.

Trust me, the black will make a great difference in color of very colored fish, and the raphaels white dots will show up so much better!!! Great Job! How thick is the substrate now? I would reccomend 2 inches, at least, for a planted tank. Pix would be awesome!!! ><> ~=!Vote Today!=~ <>< -----> View My Dragons <-----

What is the sizes of the gravel a good gravel should be 1-3mm with no sharp edges. Remember to wash and rewash it several times to remove any fine particles I always sieve (using a fine kitchen strainer) mine to remove the fines first. *Have a look in [link=My Profile] http://www.fishprofiles.com/forums/member.aspx?id=1935[/link] for my tank info* Look here for my Betta 11Gal Desktop & Placidity 5ft Community Tank Photos Keith Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do. I VOTE DO YOU if not WHY NOT? VOTE NOW VOTE NOW
