Thanks Ravi! Long time! HRP's are truly adorable.
Nothing special, the sand is picked up from a river bed and its stored in one of the places there. Rajesh helped with this. I wanted real fine sand instead of the normal gravel we use. |

No link Prem. Telling you from my first hand experience. I always do this right after setting up a new tank when there is no fish. I found, it clears the water much faster. |

Yes it is less, as the wood that was bought was soaked in water well so more the weight.
There is a separate price for dry wood and soaked wood. :sad:
Having said that I still have lots of wood in. The wood on the left and right supporting the huge logs themselves weigh more than 12 kgs. |

Thank you Ravi! Yes just about enough. I did not want to add the regular gravel, prefered fine sand as it looks more natural, hence kept it at a minimum so maintenance would be easier. |
