Where to buy cheap silica sand or pool filter sand for aquarium use in Singapore?
Currently, I have a black gravel but the they are not grains, they are PEBBLES which encourages trapped detritus. My tank is a marine themed freshwater aquarium.
I saw some websites arguing that white substrate stresses fish and thus, the fishes are colour washed. Is this true? My lighting is not so harsh. Thanks in advance
