Wow what a transformation that looks really nice indeed I've never done black substrate before it looks really effective and nice

colinbarsby - 9 years ago

+PsychedelicBabe So far, so good PB.

Dan Hiteshew - 9 years ago

That looks so much nicer.

colinbarsby - 9 years ago

+Dan Hiteshew 110%. You can see how many fish react to white sand, and then a black substrate. They try their best to blend in against the background. A natural defence against predators.

+colinbarsby Not only does the dark contrast show off the fish better, but it actually makes the fish color up more too.

colinbarsby - 9 years ago

+Dan Hiteshew Absolutely. I think the darker the substrate the better.

Dan Hiteshew - 9 years ago

+colinbarsby Your fish will color up more too.

I did a change a while ago to add Economy Complete black.I suck up the gravel with a 3/4" hose. To add the new substrate put it in a plastic soda bottle then I fill the bottle with water then I turn it upside down close to the bottom and then let it out. The dust stays in the bottle while the new gravel comes out.

+Ruben It comes out of Thailand. So far I'm very happy with it.

Ruben - 9 years ago

+colinbarsby You know I've never heard of this substrate Black Earth. I'm going to research this product because I like the way it looks in your aquarium. Thanks a lot.
