Ratmosphere Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 What color sand should I use for Macropanesthia rhinoceros? I know not to use sand with calcium in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hisserdude Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 Any color sand would be fine, just get the cheapest one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratmosphere Posted October 30, 2016 Author Share Posted October 30, 2016 Would this be good to use? http://www.petguys.com/-097612760050.html?productid=-097612760050&channelid=FROOG&utm_source=CSEs&utm_medium=GoogleShopping&utm_campaign=PetGuys&gclid=CjwKEAjwtNbABRCsqO7J0_uJxWYSJAAiVo5LGbd_lM2ALfP_dXcn9m-3YOcj_LdYIHjUrS-C_fZePRoCPh3w_wcB 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've used that brand of sand before for my inverts, it worked great. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratmosphere Posted November 5, 2016 Author Share Posted November 5, 2016 You sure that it doesn't contain any dyes or harmful materials? Should I go for the darker color sand? This is a huge investment and I want to get everything right before hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could use playsand as well, it's much cheaper and you get a lot more bang for your buck! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratmosphere Posted November 5, 2016 Author Share Posted November 5, 2016 Awesome, just purchased some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratmosphere Posted November 11, 2016 Author Share Posted November 11, 2016 Should I take some out of the mixture I have already and add more soil? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
All About Arthropods Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 Yea, definitely looks like you should add some more soil. You can PM Orin for specific ratios. By the way, have you gotten a hold of Kyle yet about purchasing your roaches? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hisserdude Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 Substrate depth looks great, but yeah I'd take a little out and add more soil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratmosphere Posted November 11, 2016 Author Share Posted November 11, 2016 I'm trying to get the 50/50 ratio right but keep adding more than the other. Now I think I have too much soil than sand! You can see the sand clearly when you clump the substrate though. What do you think? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
