Hello, All.
I am setting up a 30 gallon with a standard foot print and want to do a dry start. I would like to use Special Kitty cat litter and have a few questions regarding this.
I’d like to know if I should mix the litter with anything first. I had planned on putting about 2” in the bottom of the tank, mixed with an appropriate amount of Osmocote and then capping it with about 1” of Flourite Black gravel.
I could add a little peat to the litter, for that organic material requirement. I also have access to a sand and worm casting mixture that I believe has been prepared properly, as well as regular aquarium gravel and washed paving sand.
What are your thoughts?
