I am setting up a new 55 gallon tank never used abstract can u buy now and use late? Would 110 pound be enough to have a three inch bed
Can you use sand from the beach to add to your freshwater aquarium, if its sanitize?
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?
Rust colored algae in both of my 10 gallon tanks after switching from gravel to sand substrate. What can I do?
I am setting up a 20 gallon freshwater tank. I would like to have an assortment of live plants. I need recommendations on the type of plants to use and also the type gravel to use.
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
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!
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.
Can Betta fish tank have sand from river?
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?
