    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Can I use organic soil topped with play sand for a planted fish tank?

I am using a 30 gallon (30L" x 12W" x 18H")

I am planning on putting some Cabomba Purple (Cabomba pulcherrima), Bacopa australis (Bacopa australis), Dwarf Hairgrass (Eleocharis acicularis ), Java Moss (Vesicularia Dubyana), and Red Melon Sword (Echinodorus Barthii v. "red melon") along with a moss ball and possibly a couple of dwarf onion plants I already have from another tank. I plan on getting a piece of driftwood for my moss.

I plan on having cory cats, ottos, shrimp, a rupper-lip pleco, possibly some type of snail, and guppies
