What type of gravel do i use.....

porkchop48 Jul 25, 2005 08:55 AM

For my still not set up RETF tank I hope i remember right that you put a layer of gravel down first for drainage. If that is right what type of gravel do I use? Is there any kind of gravel that i can not use. Thank you again. What layer is next?

Well, normal gravel? I don't really know what to say, gravel is gravel I suppose; white-grey coloured small stones.
Upon that layer I would use some type of unfertilized soil, such as Bed-A-Beast.

Didnt know if it was like aquarium gravel or like th egravel you use in a drive way. Sorry for the stupid question i just want them to be set up in the proper way . But thank you again for your answer :P

Hehe, didn't mean to offend you
I understand your question, and I think aquarium gravel would probably be the best, but I suppose other gravel would work aswell, as long as it is cleaned(free from exhaustions, oil etc).
