Rabbit poo works but is not a good idea. If you are setting up the tank the best method I 9and many others) have found is a dusting of spaghum peat moss (cost like $3.00 for a bag that could be used on many, many, many tanks). Just use a dusting. You dont want to coat the bottom of the tank. Then take the filter media from an established tank and squeeze it out all over the bottom. Then after you rinse the sand add it to the tank. Then slowly fill the tank up with water. This method has provided the best results for me when using any substrate.
