The most frequently selected substrate height
The most commonly chosen substrate depth for aquariums is a layer of 4-5 cm.
Too thin a layer will prevent proper root development and may cause the substrate to leach out from beneath the substrate. Too thick a layer can contribute to the formation of hydrogen sulfide and toxic anaerobic zones. For an aquarium without plants, a 1-3 cm layer of substrate is adequate.
