QUOTE(BenSow @ Nov 10 2010, 10:32 AM) Problem is how fine the two substrate are... If the white sand is finer than the soil you using... It can seep through the soil and bit by bit you lose that path... Thats the challenge is it? After awhile with the current tank, the hand is itchy to try something new. Darn... Bought a snakeskin guppy from Alive Aquarium yesterday, and found it dead this morning without his tail and head...  Have no idea how the hell that happened... Same thing happened to my last male guppy...Now, should I plant first, let it stabilized first before forming the path? Need to do some googling! Added on November 10, 2010, 10:53 am QUOTE(michanz @ Nov 10 2010, 01:54 AM) creatig a path or river damn easy.. Thanks Mich, yes need to goggle...creating a GOODLOOKING path or river is not easy.. lol use like a plastic sheet or strips to laydown the pathway to seperate soil and white sand.. pour in white sand and takeaway the plastic seperator.. hard to explain.. just google "creating white sand path in aquascaping" or something sure can find journals.

Shd I get Shirui sand or white silica sand? I have seen LFS selling Shirui sand, but can I get white silica sand easily? Which one will be better?
Anyway just planning to create a pond, not a path or river... This post has been edited by crewmy: Nov 10 2010, 11:42 AM |

I have black tetras, rummy nose tetras, flying foxes, otto, all living happily with my yamatoes, but once I introduced snow whites and black angel fishes, the yamatoes gone. Dunno who is the culprit.

Was at Jusco Kepong today and saw a big planted aquarium. Saw this plant with white cotton-like stuff on the leaves, is this part of the plant or algae?
