What kind of styrofoam are you using? I suppose it's safe for fishes right? I'd like to put that under my big maple stones to prevent glass breakage or scratches.

@@CarcPazu i just got it at the hardware store and cut it to my desired shape. you can also use that plastic egg crate material for the same purpose. very safe.

Nice! Would this layout work with a HOB filter in the middle of the back?

@juscallmej 2 жыл бұрын

if you have a hob filter i would put it where its not the "center of attention" like it would be if you put it in the middle open area.. either side of the back wall or the either side wall would work fine.

What did you use for your substrate support? Any semi-hard plastic will do?

@juscallmej Жыл бұрын

pretty much. i used a thin piece of wood here i got at a hobby store

What’s the white thing you have added at the beginning?

@juscallmej 20 күн бұрын

styrofoam board. it helps protect the glass from the heavy rocks and helps a bit with providing elevation. doesn't affect the water quality.

Did you use foam boards to build the hills?

@juscallmej 3 жыл бұрын

yes it helped to give it more height in the back as well as support the big rocks. thanks for watching!

Is that substrate support, corroborated plastic board? I can't find it by that name in USA amazon

@juscallmej 2 жыл бұрын

its actually thin tiles of wood i got in a hobby store. i could split it by hand to size. you can use plastic if its sturdy enough to hold the soil back.

Nice scape but if u have Corydoras that sand will vanish under the soil.. make sure the soil is always on a higher level then the sand if u have corydoras fish

@juscallmej 3 жыл бұрын

i have shrimp who do pick at the soil/sand. the rocks and plant roots help support the soil. check my update vids if you wanted to see. no cories though
