Questions
CAN I PUT IN A BETTA TANKS OR NO
how many packs of sand for 29g
- Hello, I would love to help you with this question but it depends on a couple of things. How high you want your sand and which size bag of sand you plan on buying? The bags come in 5 and 10 lb bags and I used mine for a 10 and 6 gallon tank. I used half and half of the 10lb bag in both tanks and used the other 5lb bag months later for other smaller tanks.

Currently I am using calcium sand. It doesn’t seem to be effecting Ash at all. Should I continue to use the sand or get something else such as eco earth?
Can you use sand from the beach to add to your freshwater aquarium, if its sanitize?
Rust colored algae in both of my 10 gallon tanks after switching from gravel to sand substrate. What can I do?
Hi. How long is 10 litre of cat sand will last for 2 cats?
What type of saltwater fish can I have in a 10 gallon tank
Can Betta fish tank have sand from river?
first of all, thanks for your advice with my african dwarf frogs! after the aquarium salt bath they are doing great and even look more vibrant now! i was wanting to know what substrate would be best in the tank. would sand be okay or would they eat that like the gravel? i have a heavily planted aquarium and need something to keep the plants in place but i dont want my frogs to eat it and have something happen to them. i find conflicting information when i research it online. thanks!
I recently got some hermit crabs. The nearest pet store to me is an hour away so I made a visit to purchase supplies. But I didn't get as much substrate as I needed, unfortunately. I was planning to go and get more when I had the chance. But I believe my largest crab is molting, it's trying to dig underground but there's not yet enough substrate for him to really bury himself yet. I know you should not bother a molting crab, but if I buy more substrate should I put it in there with him or wait
We’ve recently bought a pet snail and I’m wondering if we should put calcium rich sand on the bottom of the tank we have some made for hermit crabs and I feel as though he shouldn’t be submerged in water all the time so should I put some down or is he fine? I’m unsure of what type of snail he is but the person at the shop said he was a cold water snail I think
I am setting up a new habitat for my 2 sibling gerbils. I want it to be as natural of a habitat as their ancestors in the wild live in. Which substrate would you recommend that would be as natural as they would receive in their desert environment?
Hello, Cat litter isnt easily available in the place where I live, so we have trained our cats to use sand(regular clean sand used) for toilet purposes. Unfortunately, that is becoming a commodity of limited supply. The good news is that we live near the beach, so provided I change the litter two times in a day, can I use beach sand as litter adjacent? Also any idea as how to clean beach sand to remove any contingent bacteria or such, which in God's Grace should be none. Thank you. God Bless.
Hello ! I want to change the cat litter i buy into natural sea sand. If i brought it, put it in the oven to sanitize it, is it okay for my cat ? Is it more risky for diseases ?
