Re: MY GSP TANK
I know most people use sand, but this was actually going to be a cichlid tank so had it set up like this when I found my GSP and fell in love. Will the gravel be a bad thing or no? PP do you approve?

Re: MY GSP TANK
The gsp will not mind gravel. With most fish it's personal preference. Nice looking tank
It's amazing how easy maintenance is. If done regularly and thoroughly

Re: MY GSP TANK
Ime, vacuuming on gravel is by far the easiest. Sand u will have to be very careful not to suck up too much of it.

Re: MY GSP TANK
I started my juvie in gravel but as I upgraded & raised the SG, I changed to crushed coral. The more preferred substrate is aragonite sand.

Re: MY GSP TANK
Thank you all. He will be in a SW tank as he gets bigger and something else will be in that tank. Tank right now is at 1.016 SG. He seems to like it pretty well.

Re: MY GSP TANK
That's a great looking tank! You may want to look into silk plants, plastic plants can hurt your GSPs.... sometimes they have sharp edges that can cut their skin. Here's a photo of our 55 gallon GSP tank, we change over to silk plants after learning the plastic plant lesson the hard way. One of our GSPs has a small scare on his side from a plastic plant.
