lloydashton Posted June 12, 2013 Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 Looking good pete, you should change the substrate to play sand, makes the red POP so much more too, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lloydashton Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 Yeah mate, i personally like the look of tropheus over a white substrate. I used the bunnings play sand. check out some of my pics on here and TF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shanoz Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 I have Ballina White Sand in my tanks, and trust me its WHITE! With all sand, you just need to rinse it enough to keep all the heavier particles and wash off all the lighter stuff and you'll be laughing! Here's my tank http://www.qldaf.com/forums/photography-video-lounge-23/my-africans-old-american-tank-redone-88113/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lloydashton Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 Yeah pete. A good good wash and its very white. The play sand is very dirty when you get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twocartonsnachilliburger Posted June 24, 2013 Report Share Posted June 24, 2013 i use it in my reptile tanks and looks great nice and white but that is also dried right out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lloydashton Posted June 24, 2013 Report Share Posted June 24, 2013 It doesnt look too white in the bags but once it has been thoroughly washed its comes out just like in the picture. I have bought loads of bags of the stuff and its all been great and really white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
