Bear Posted May 10, 2014 Report Share Posted May 10, 2014 Ok. So i used Beencees DIY substrate recipe today on my 4 foot. I went WAY overboard with the height of the substrate I capped it off with washed play sand. So removing it & starting over won't be happening anytime soon. So my dilemma is, what would you recommend to use as filtration as not to stir up the sand. The height of the substrate is around 6 - 7" deep.

Donny@ageofaquariums Posted May 10, 2014 Report Share Posted May 10, 2014 What size tank is it? Maybe something like a HY303D with a cut down intake pipe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donny@ageofaquariums Posted May 10, 2014 Report Share Posted May 10, 2014 (edited) So you have 11" of water above substrate? On the plus side it moves light loving carpet plants closer to your lights! Edited May 10, 2014 by Donny@ageofaquariums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bear Posted May 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2014 [MENTION=9246]Donny@ageofaquariums[/MENTION] yeah Donny goes from about 14" at one end to about 11" at the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
