I have a three gallon (Marineland System Three) aquarium that currently has a gravel substrate that I am thinking I might switch over to sand, Tahitian Moon Sand, and I have a few questions before I do so:
1). Would sand be a good choice in a tank with Java Moss, Anacharis, along with a few silk plants?
2). With live plants, how many inches of sand should I have? Would I need anything else other than sand? I already use Flourish Excel.
3). What, if anything, would I do for maintenance with this kind of substrate? Does it need to be stirred regularly?
4). How I would keep the sand from getting into my filter. As I mentioned above, I have a Marineland System 3 aquarium with a power filter.
Seeing as this is uncharted territory for me, if anyone has any tip/advice/suggestions, I would really appreciate them. Thanks!
