UggggHHHH
way to go lastlight lol
I just gave my black sand away after taking 5 hours to get it all outa there....
Im going to try a light white sandbed and go from there as Im a pro at removing it now without scratching or disturbing lol I just want it smooth enough for soft bellied fish aswell and I figured like I had before if everything was black but the rock and fish it would showcase it more from a distance???
Also in freshwater the fish get right stressed out with a light substrate so its alwasy been a custom for me to go none or dark???
