    Hi Guyz

    Need advise regarding my 6 foot malawi tank. Tank dimension are L 1830 W 610 and H 610. Been to pet stores, some say +- 100kg and there prices are R30 a kg. Bit stressed, :( I dnt budget R3000 for substrate only. Appreciate any help. Thanks have a pleasant evening.

    Sand or gravel for malawi tank, which one best suited.
    How many kg do I need.

    trip to the local sand pit ... 1/2 ton - what you do not use could become topdressing for the lawn ... Durban has some nice sand ...

    Take a look at PFS (pool filter sand) ,looks good and is cheap.
