o, and could a mod please change the title to 20 gallon multi tank. please and thankyou

[Ricker]

Cant wait to see yours Krazy.

[karazy]

thankyou very much. there should be quitea few updates next week....

[karazy]

tiny setback, but i cant find any pool stores in calgary

that means no pool filter sand. is there anywhere else you can buy pool filter sand?

Maybe a hardware store? They may be getting that type of stuff out for sale this time of year....I don't know though, since its still cold up there. Worth a try!

It may be too late for the title change.

Glad you are doing a 20g....they'll love the extra space.

[karazy]

ya... if i cant find pool filter sand i will just use normal aquarium sand since ill have a sponge over my intake..


ya, so am i. it gives me more room for designing ect. and also it will mean i can have a bigger/better colony

[Ricker]

Is this going to be planted or just regular. I know I just bought 60Lbs of eco complete and gave me a 3in bed I like the look of it to. Well GL with the sand

[karazy]

just regular no live plants

[Ricker]

May I sugest get all natural sand I think it is called you can find it at petsmarts. they have it in rough grain and smooth grain. regular color looking sand and white and black. come in 20Lbs bags and cost here roughly around 13 bucks.

[karazy]

sounds kool. i check it it out. thnx

Tahitian Moon Sand is black and would look nice with Multies. I think a 15lb bag is the way its sold here and that would be fine for a 20g Multi tank.

Multies don't need much sand at all....maybe a 1/2" layer, so you don't need a ton of sand (saves you money!). Shells are more important to them.

[Ricker]

NP I was going to get it but decided to get eco since I was doing planted. Ya It looks nice to cant wait to see it.

[karazy]

ooo. black sounds smexy. the only reason i would have a thicker sandbed would be for aquascaping and/or if the multies wanted to dig...
