Howdy, first post here.
I'm re-doing a 10 gallon with Tahitian Moon Sand to try out the dw method. I have the book, just started reading it.
I'm not in a rush to finish the tank, all the fish have moved into a larger 46 gallon and I want to do this thing right and get some lush plant growth before I think about adding any new, small, occupants.
My questions:
For top soil I have a, 89 cent bag of Lowes generic top soil (blue and white bag). Will this be ok?
It appears, via searching older threads, that I can't use the sand. Does anyone have any ideas for a dark black or near black substrate that will work well over the top soil?
Thanks!
Mark
