## Questions & Answers

**Q: I have a 38 x 15 inch tank. I want between 3-4 inches coverage. How many tubs would I need please**
A: Hi, l have a Jewel Rio 125 aquarium which is 81cm x 36cm x 50cm (approx 36 x 14 x 19 inches). I bought 2 tubs of tetra substrate 10kg but only used one. I covered the bottom of my tank with this about 2 inches deep and then laid finer sand on top as l thought the substrate would be a little too course for my Cory's. I needed a base layer as l have live plants. If you are going to use just this then maybe you will need 2 tubs. I hope this answers your question.

**Q: What colour would you describe the substrate as please … thank you**
A: It is dark.

**Q: Is this product shrimp safe i.e. doesn't contain copper as a trace nutrient?**
A: I'm not sure if it contains copper but I use it and also have shrimp and they seem fine. Not had any issues.

**Q: What is the benefit of the complete substrate over the active substrate?**
A: You use them together the complete substrate goes on the bottom of the tank and releases nutrients slowly, the active substrate allows the plants roots to grow down into the active substrate easier as it isn’t as heavy and it leaves small gaps for the roots to push between.
