 |
|
I am looking at some suggestions for what to use to create slopes in the substrate.
I'll be using ADA AS as substrate, but don't have enough of it to create steep slopes.
Was looking at thermocol, but keep reading that it causes problems because of it's buoyancy.
Can I use tiles or small slabs of granite or something similar?
Are there any other light weight and inert options available? |

Hi,
Regular bathing scrubs like these..
use them directly or make sand bags using them.. you will have to un-roll them and fill with sand.. |

Hi
Earlier I had used used socks filled with sand/substrate to create slopes. Worked well.

| You can use small pieces of construction bricks, which are comparatively cheaper and lighter. |

| if u are gonna cover it with some sand or anything else u can also use hard fiber plates which we usually use as base when we cut veggies. |
