    Hi all,

    I'm leaning towards black substrate over the original PFS I was going to use when redoing my 5ft setup.

    I'll need probably between 20 and 30kg of the stuff to cover the bottom nicely.

    If anyone knows where I can buy some black substrate or if you have some laying around, please let me know!!

    Thanks,

    M

    Sorry for the bad picture quality, but this gives you an idea of what it looks like.

    I paid R50 a bag (+/- 2kg per bag) for this specific batch from a LFS. Will let you know once I get prices from Altum.
