Hi!
Ok, so I finally put mineralized topsoil to my new AGA 75g tank yesterday, did a 1 1/2-2" layer mixed with colorquartz and I wanted to cap it with CQ and fill the tank with water. I had almost two full 50# bags of CQ and guess what- I used all of it and I have barelly 2" in the front and 3" in the back. Since it will be extremely hard for me to get anothr bag of CQ locally, I already orered 2 bags of black fluorite, one regular and one sand. I have to wait another week or so
I have few options and I would like to hear your opinion:
1. Mix black fluorite with the sand one and spread evenly on the whole tank to create that 1" I am missing.
2. Move as much cq as possible to the back and put mix of regular and sand fluorite in the front (since stem plants on the back will get quicker to the soil layer anyway)
3. Create a layer of fluorite sand in the front to help foreground plants to root and get their nutrients and put regular fluorite on the rest of the tank
4. Mix cq and fluorite together and spread in the whole tank.
Whih option will be the best? Thanks for all your answers.
