Hi all,

I have my first aquascaping tank being made as we speak and I have just seen TGM have a sale on
ADA Aqua Soil Amazonia. Can someone please check my maths as Im not 100% sure I have got this right..

Tank footprint is...

L 1095mm - W 420mm - H 540mm

I used the calculator to do 109 x 42 x 5 / 1000 to get 30L of substrate needed at 5cm depth?

Is this correct?

Thanks for the help
 
Hi,

109 x 42 x 5(substrate depth) = 22,9 L needed

if you have 30L of substrate,
30/(190 x 42) = 6.5cm substrate depth
 
Just ordered

27L of ADA amazonia and 6kg of ADA Mekong sand

Fingers crossed I have enough to get the look Im after, time will tell
 
Silly question really.... but can I put the substrate into the tank even though I dont plan on getting it wet for a couple of weeks?
 
Thanks Ryan, also at what depth of pure amazonia is there a chance of gases building up?? Is 10" too deep? I have some old white gravel, shall I put a inch or two of this in first so the substrate is not compacted too much?

Thanks
 
To be honest I have more than enough Amazonia so if safe I will just use that, next question lol.. What's best to use to create clean substrate devision?

I'm planning on leaving whatever I use in the tank so plastic is probably best?
