Arcilite
More stupid questions, please bare with me,
I have found Arcilite, sold as Profile Aquatic Plant Soil.
is this a suitable alternative to Laterite? Grain size is that
of a medium fine sand.Obviously I will mix it with
a gravel, one I've found is a black volcanic gravel in a
marine aquaria shop locally. It looks to be adequite.
As for water, I don't our tap water in Ft. Lauderdale
because of its' greenish yellow tint. However, I will
retrieve the specs on it from the water dept. asap
(good advice) Should I add anything else to the
substrata or will this simple mix do? Also, I have a
Magnum 350 power filter which seems to be a bit large
for my needs and way too noisy. Noise levels in the
aquarium is a factor I am accutely sencitive too,
not to mention the plants and fish. Do I even need a filter
for the very small population of fish I will have, 5 at
most.? thanks again to all the responces
