Hi all,

just found you and have a major problem I hope you may be able to help me
with. I have a 48" x 18" x 15 " Juwel with white silica sand as a base for
planting into. Unfortunately I also have a 10" Pleco which seems to revel in
disturbing the sand and consequently uprooting the plants in his attempts to
get under everything. I wonder if putting a layer of silica sand and then a
porous plastic mesh before the final layer of silica would help solve this
problem. I could then plant into the top layer and the roots would hopefully
work through the mesh into the bottom layer. Any thoughts on this or
alternative suggestions - I don't really want to lose Pleco as he is such a
character but..........

Best wishes
Ron
