My new tank has arrived...

Just need more plants and hideaways but I really love it, just waiting till Neecie and Neeko can go in

It's a really nice unit Can't tell how big it is from the picture, what are the measurements/volume?

I'm worried the sand may be a bit thick in places, if it's over an inch or so you could get anaerobic bacteria building up underneath the sand which could errupt and harm living animals.

Hi its a 20 gallon tank, the sand is like that as I had only just finished putting in the water and was letting it settle as it was so cold it gave me a head ache when trying to sort it out lol I am always taking the poo out and do that once if now twice a day

It's not about the poo, it's trapped air bubbles under the sand. If you stir it up every so often it should be fine but an inch layer is thick enough

Ya thick sand makes toxic air pockets, I would remove a little, not too much. A few good size hiding spots too! Looks like a great tank, please post pics when done and axolotls are in!!
