 | Sand ? |
LEE_WILMOT_706  Enthusiast Posts: 243 Kudos: 201 Votes: 3 Registered: 27-Jun-2004   | I'm changing from gravel subsrtate to sand substrate, and I was wondering if a Bio-wheel current would make the sand cloud up or if it would be OK. I'm worried because I don't want a tank that has loads of cloudy sand in it. Any replies would be good, thanks.  |

Just pick up 5 lbs of nice marine-grade fine sand at your LFS. -Molly Visit shelldwellers.com! |
