hi all, Im in school now XD i know, crazy. but im almost done.
so, i am starting to care for my 125L. the thing is that during summertime i will be working in an actual job so i will be getting some crypts and 1-2 amazon swords and other plants that shall require root ferts. so i dont think i will even bother doing root tabs every 3 or less months so i thought about adding some organic potting mix for plants. yes there would be possibility that it would get used up but for a long time i would not need to use them.
but there is a problem, its the granular convection. if i would use the soil + sand, the soil would rise and sand would end up at the bottom and therefore i need help.
and if i would use sand + soil mixture and i have have mts snails and corys and so they would mix it up and would make granular convection happen faster.
so i thought about adding a small 2cm of small grained gravel, like 2-3mm(?), and then some sand maybe? would this work with my snails and corys orr not??
thanks for anything really! :3
