arixonbarnes Posted May 31, 2005 Report Share Posted May 31, 2005 (edited) Copper is definitely not something you want in your tanks on a continous basis especially as a substrate. It will, however, guarantee no snails and no parasites and over time no fish. Copper is very poisonous to marine creatures whether salt or fresh and you need to be very cautious in applying it.

vantgE Posted June 1, 2005 Report Share Posted June 1, 2005 I used rona playsand in my tank it takes alot of work to clean but worked out quite nicvely since, however it is mixed with african cichlid gravel which makes an intresting look that I kind of like although th general consensus seems to be against the mixed look, It is also damn hard to clean I can't really get any poop off of it so am considering adding a powerhead system and sontinueing my excesive watter changes. Something else when I was looking for sand talking to a guy at crowfoot petland, they have used a couple different types of sand in their tanks and the cheap stuff we all look at, the rona and totem kind of stuff, might be a good place to check out see how you like the looks of it in a tank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
