I like it. How are you finding the sand to work? I had trouble with anaerobic areas when I put fertilizer tabs in my substrate when I used sand.

well i have only been useing the sand for about a week now but so far i really like it. real easy to plant things in though. however it is not a real fine grade sand it is more of a medium grade you can see each individual grain quite easy.

i really like your tank especially the look of the sand. is it just sand? no flourite or anything besides the root tabs and jobes? i'm thinking of using play sand in a 10g tank. where did you buy the silica sand?

ya it is 100% sand and i got it at a lfs it was accually the best price i could find anywere. and for the looks i like it alot more then playground sand. but i dou know that the company that made the sand was target if that helps you at all.
