So little Gandolf has had carpet substrate since he was a wee little thing. Now, he is about 18" and in a 40gal tank. He has lots of room to roam and hang out but I am starting to get real tired of cleaning his carpet so often when he poops. Because I can never clean it fully and residue always sticks to it and just makes it smell. I clean the carpet once a week and then every month get new carpet. So, four cleanings and then I get a new one.
So my question is this: What is a better substrate? I know sand is evil. I will NEVER use sand. I've heard tile (especially slate) works great but what do you guys think is the easiest to maintain and clean? Thanks!
