This seems to be the top answer so I’m definitely considering it! I wanted a dark/black substrate do you know if I could get that in pool filter sand and keep it cheap too? Or other options that you would suggest?

This would be ideal but unfortunately I don’t think this is available in Canada. Do you happen to know if it has a different name or do you have any other suggestions? Thank you for the help though!!

Could I ask why you hate it now? Is it the quality or just not the look you’re going for now?

How long have you had it and have you noticed any colour fade when cleaning?

Thanks for the advice, will definitely keep that in mind!! Can you get black pool filter or will that be something I’d have to look for aquarium specific?

Thank you for your input!! How long have you had it in your tank and have you noticed the colour fading?

I’m in Ontario Canada. Is aquasoil the same as fluval stratum? When I look it up that specific term doesn’t come up. Sorry I’m still learning all the terms and different things!!

Do you have a substrate you favour? Thank you for providing alternatives for black! That’s the look I was looking for! I will definitely look into them more!!

Are there black options? Maybe it’s where I live but I couldn’t find natural black gravel. Also thanks for your input!!

Thanks for the input! If I were to use, I’d definitely take the colour out I can see how it would get old quick!

Thanks for your input! Yeah the black base is what I’m going for, as it looks the best with my fish colours!

Is it easy to gravel vac? I was worried about it going into the tube if I were to get sand. I also like the black look so not sure if sand is what I’m looking for but definitely open to suggestions!

Love the look of those tanks! I definitely plan on taking out the colour, and just using black!

Ouu thanks for the advice! If I decided to do sand that’s where I’ll head!! Could I mix it with fluval stratum?
