I changed out my Blk. sand in my 6 gal. kitchen tank to pool filter sand. I had a trio of male fancy guppies and I could not see the black moscow very good against the black sand. I decided to change it out today to brighten the tank.
I have a before picture and a new picture with the pool filter sand. It looks so much brighter. I put a black type of contact paper as the background. I have this tank next to a window in my kitchen and the algae won't show up much with the darker background. I also added a retaining wall on the right side made with the black slate I had . I put Crypt, tied Java Moss on the black slate stones with Java Ferns, I also have Anacharis and Val as plants in that tank. I put 2 Assassin snails in the tank also.
Tell me what you think.
