Silica Sand Aquarium

Is it safe to build aquarium silicone aquarium sand silica and polystyrene

all IM will do is get a sheet of poly styrene to silicone all over it and stick with silica sand for the

all I want is not about the disadvantages of the dong and the contamination that will cause, such as damage to fish and anything you can suggest Thank you Stuart

Sort Soop's a good idea - the part about the silica used by diatoms (commonly called an algae "brown") to construct the hulls that cover is 100% correct.

But the sand pool is recommended to do the same thing. Obviously, it did not make the connection between diatoms and diatomaceous earth, which is the shell material (silica), diatomaceous dead. (Google "diatomaceous earth)

But many people use the sand as a substrate for fish that like to burrow or wattles sensitive foraging (CORYS, grouper). You can control the diatoms by frequent changes of water and the addition of a phosphate absorbing pad in your filter if you decide to use it.

I Silica sand mining in mo and my fish were laying regularly, nothing bad about the little sand, silicon aquariam be authorized and i cannot see the poly causing harm anyone. I suppose you want to paste the poly silicon down and gluing the sand. I have bog wood in mine, I used to lead bands as down. why do not you use plaster of Paris instead of poly as a thought.

If she goes outside of the tank, it will not. If she went inside, I know that silicone aquarium and silica sand will be fine. Not sure on the polystyrene.

Yes, it is safe. Many people make 3D Fund for tanks using polystyrene and cement, then silicone inside the tank.
