Sad to say, this project will be terminated soon. I'm going to get my tank replaced and going to throw away the sand due to ISOPODS contamination.
Summary of this short lived project.
Size10 is too fine to be used
The glass beads must have flat pieces of liverocks buried to lay the foundation for the LR as the beads will move if you have a strong powerhead (tunze).
Bubbles will rise among the glass beads and will carry a few glass beads together with it. The bubbles will then pop and release the beads all over the place.
Unfortunately, I'm unable watch this sandbed matures and do not have the luxury to spend another fortune buying them.
