note taken.

Thats an endy. I keep my ph between the range of 7 and 7.5 by adding baking soda whenever it dips below 7.

Did an ivory coloured base for my son's 3ft tank. Find the colour not too bad. Not exceptionally bright and yet not too dark. Looks alil like natural sand.

Yes bro, 1 whole piece. Learnt from past experience.

Measured off from the top of my tank. Did not leave any gaps at the sides so in future if i need to remove, will have to use suckers.

Do consider your mode of transport. I dont think you would be able to fit a say 6x2.5 piece into your car?

Also big tanks come with side bracings at the top. You will not be able to fit a single piece in directly. Advise that you split it into 2.

Do you think 422 with bracin top can fit in whole piece? This ivory colour I prefer it than white, not too shiny, looks Matt.
