Sandbed in Pico
Hi folks,
I'm considering doing a 3 - 5gallon 'Pico/Nano' style aquarium. What depth sandbed should be in these... I mean what is a DSB in a 3gallon tank??? Also, sand, sugar aragonite? I'm looking at mainly corals and inverts (shrimp, crabs, maybe 1 small fish) and it will be skimmerless. |

I kept a 3-gallon with about 4 pounds of Carib live sand, and it worked great. The sand bed was about an inch and a half deep.

From what i've read a DSB in a nano tank is ineffective due to the fact that the organisms in a DSB do not like hard edges and stay a certain amount of space away from them. Therefore the footprint of a nano tank does not allow enough edge free space for the DSB to be effective. HTH

An inch for looks is fine. I agree that a DSB is unlikely to be useful in that size tank.
