Planning to do something with a spare tank, mainly for Harlequin Rasboras. The tank will have a number of large to small pebbles that are dark grey and go a shade or two darker when immersed and will have a background planting of Hair Grass plus maybe Weeping Moss on a couple of the larger pebbles.
I've recently used Unipac's Maui sand in another tank and that feels a bit to "white" for me so I bought a bag of their Fiji sand to try in this one. The Fiji sand looks to be a bit on the "red" side and doesn't really go with the dark grey rocks. Also, thinking of the Harlequins colouring, they have black stripe and I thought of using a dark sand, something like Unipac's Limpopo. The tank is a Juwel 70 litre that's finished with black sealant and a black internal filter.
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. I'd like to get this one right first time if that's ever a possibility.
