SamanthaJayne Posted January 1, 2015 Report Share Posted January 1, 2015 I'm wanting to use a tank I have already setup for my ellioti. Is crushed coral substrate ok? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daharkazangel Posted January 1, 2015 Report Share Posted January 1, 2015 Not ideal imo. Sand is the best option Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donny@ageofaquariums Posted January 1, 2015 Report Share Posted January 1, 2015 Its ok, but you dont need the pH so high as coral will make it. That said I had some on a system that was coral sand and they bred/grew out totally fine.......... well as fine as oz ellioti can Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamanthaJayne Posted January 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 Coral has been in this particular tank for ages as it was an African tank. Tested ph and it's sitting at 7.6 which is about normal. That's a good ph for ellioti so I went with it and have put them in. They seem happy. Will keep an eye on it. Thanks guys for your input.

ozmo Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 An inert river sand would suit the Ellioti best IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
