may i ask is sand easy to clean more than gravel?because i got 55 gallon tank and i like sand also but i am worry about clean with sand make water more cloudy though!

[blakessunglasses]

@ShubunkinKoi

Sand is a pain in the butt to clean truthfully. Gravel takes about one or two rinses to get it clean, and sand takes about 10 rinses to clean it. In the long run i would go with sand, it looks much cleaner in my opinion. So if you will take the time use sand.

Thanks,

Blake

[kingofkings0101]

hi blake,  if at all i wanna aquascape my tank for african cichlids, then can u suggest me if i can use any live plants which the cichlids wont damage and at the same time i can maintain these live plants without any special lighting or co2 equipment...i wanna add rocks and also add some live plants so that the tank looks good and also realistic..dont wanna add any plastic plants..pls advice..

[T4CTiC4L3Pr0]

Like it! :) could you please do a vid on how to place slate for breeding? Thanks :)

and just a quick point I would like to make, Peacocks/Aulonocara Dig HUGE holes, like inverted domes in the wild, and sometimes if you have a big enough tank... They can be as big as 1m-5m diameter per one fish! :O They make these for breeding, I've witnessed it in the wild, but you can also witness it at Public Aquariums :) If they have a huge Malawi tank! it's worth seeing :) Hope you found this interesting :)

@Dan42357 Usually more circulation, water currant, works on that. It helps break it down and move it into the filters.

nice cichlid tank. I just bought a bunch of lace rock for mine. I little pricey but works very well. I subbed. check mine out and please sub back

[Dan42357]

hi white sand in my fish tank, and it looks very nice, except for all off my kenyi cichlids crap thats lays on top up it. Do you have any way to cope with the crap except by cleaning it every day. I was able to get it out yesterday in a water change but, now there is the same amount of crap there as before. Please help and reply.

[killernavjot]
