Wtb fw substrate for a 75

Im thinking of making my new 75 a fw tank. Saltwater is not gonna happen anytime soon. Id like sand but gravel will work. Im in cr

 

Use pool filter sand. It looks really nice. Or if you want just gravel you can get 50 lb bags for like $4 at menards or probly any home improvement store. Just give it a good rinse.

 

I thought of pool filter sand but, i cant rinse outside and im affraid to do it inside...

 

I had pool filter sand in a fw setup a few years ago. Its super clean stuff. It had absolutely no dust on it. You shouldnt have to rinse it. Itd be your better option probly. Ud definitely have to rinse any gravel tho. Use the sand and run the tank a few days with a filter.

 

Oh sweet. Who would carry it this time of year?

Would this work?

 

That looks like itd work. Do you have any pool supply stores up that way? They might be cheapest. But otherwise that should work.

 

I can do minimal rinsing in the bathtub with a 5 gal bucket. Ill prolly just get a 50lb bag

 

Rinsing wouldnt hurt if u wanted

 

If i could find some cheap rock and salt id just let the tank cycle for ohhhh 6 mo. Lol

 

i have some petite freshwater rock/gravel travis about 3 gallon bucketl worth depending on what you wanna have inside it. also allot of freshwater fish for sale if your interested.

 

Dependinog on what you are wanting I will give you the stuff I have left over from that 40B we were talking about. It is colored however.

 

Colored doesnt bother me. I found an old 20 tall that i may set up instead. So thatd be plenty. Got any other fw stuff left?

 

What all fish do you have?

 

I will send you some pics tomorrow of the stuff I have left over.

 

african peacocks,lethrenops,tropheops and synodontis multies and petracola catfish and some tanginikian cichlids as well
