Re: Substrate for new planted tank
Plus I would say these rocks are way to man-made cut types won't give a great natural feeling to the tank. Try getting some red based stone that can be locally collected. And if you want to spend bucks on hardscape I would say get some seriyu or manten ADA stones they look absolutely brilliant! happy scaping my man! to put in your harscape pics perhaps all can give you a collective suggestion on the best possible scape..

Re: Substrate for new planted tank
if these rocks doesnt respond to vinegar test then use it in your scape!!!
As the color showed is quite lighter or near white color so it may not give so natural look, but we cant help it, many parts of our country does provide good rocks, next time if possible try to search for some blackish rocks that may look more natural.
Also if possible try to search for some smaller rocks(supporter for bigger rocks) of same kind that may help you to achieve a more fuller look to your scape.
Happy scaping!!!

Re: Substrate for new planted tank
Thanks. This was the best I could find out at the moment but I agree with you. Will be on look out for replacement as soon as I find better rocks. Suggestions well noted. Thanks again.

Re: Substrate for new planted tank
Here in Delhi, finding suitable rocks for aquascape is very difficult task. Many times, I want to setup a new scape but waits for suitable rocks. From last four months, I am searching some volcanic rocks but unable to find till now.zico_aqua wrote:Plus I would say these rocks are way to man-made cut types won't give a great natural feeling to the tank.
