Okay, remember that's it's rust colored. Goes well with Flourite red. By the
way, the reef store in Tacoma is selling planted aquarium substrate and african
cichlid sand and gravel for .50 a pound, in 20 lb bags, which is a very good
deal, if they have any left. There address and phone number should be on the
GSAS website as a sponser.

Thank you, I use water conditioner so the metals issue would have come up
sooner, I still think it might be some sort of bacteria problem. the funny
thing is that he/she does it infrequently. I don't know. Thank you for the
ideas, I am planning an Asian theme tank with sand as the substrate heavily
planted with Val. I might get some from you if I still need more.
