Really Nice Discus
Oh stop rubbing it in
Very nice wilds.
Great fish there Nev.
I'm also interested in your substrate - would you mind telling me what it is?
Cheers,
Scott
the substrate is pool filter sand from clarke rubber stores $14.00 per 10 kg bag.it makes a great substrate because its courser than normal sand and has a natural look.
+1 for me as wellQuote:

Great looking fish!Its a great looking set up and the substrate really seems to make those colours pop.
I've only ever had bare or the "usual" style of brown gravels, larger grit type that are readily available. I really like the look of that sand you have. Are there any draw backs to using a sand type over a gravel? When you vac does it swirl and drop like gravel or do you have to do anything different to stop it from being sucked up?
