hello all

i am gettin my first tank which will be strictly planned out for what i want rather than taking the existing decore an filling it with water

it is a 180 gallon tank on a oak stand what i have planned for it is 6 kigoma frontosa and a l226 pleco

im going to get this sand blasting sand that is black and some shale rocks which i will be smoothing off after looking at this site i am inspired to make my own caves with ceramic which i thing will be very fun im looking for any thoughts or advice yall might have for me

when i get the tank ill list what gear there is and i will make a photo journal so you all can see

have a great day

I've heard and read from multiple sources on here and other places, that blasting sand is not necessarily a good option. There is no guarantee it is inert/aquarium safe and can be quite sharp, but people do have success with it.
