Go with fine sand like 1 to 2 inches deep. Keeps detritus down and helps critters thrive. How big ur tank?

Go with fine sand usually like 1 to 2 inches deep. Keeps stuff chill and helps denitrify. What kind of critters you planning to keep in there?

Tube-eals? Im not shure how they are called. In my native language its Röhrenaal

Tube eels sound cool! They usually like sand to burrow in, so your setup sounds perfect. Just make sure it

So 1-2 inches are enough? 2 inches are 5 centimeters, ive heard that theres a chance that gases can Form, thats why I ask about a dsb wit about 3 inches or more.
