Common Uses of Aquarium Sand Flattener
- Smoothing the Substrate: Essential for leveling out the sand or gravel after planting or decorating, ensuring an even surface that looks neat and professional.
- Creating Contours: Helps in shaping hills, valleys, or slopes in the substrate, which is important for certain aquascaping styles.
- Maintenance: Useful for regular maintenance, as it helps you to re-flatten the substrate after disturbances caused by cleaning, fish digging, or plant growth.
- Avoiding Compaction: Regular use of a sand flattener can help prevent substrate compaction, ensuring that the roots of aquatic plants can grow more freely.
