Re: sand vs gravel

["Colin Gorton" <mr_apisto@graffiti.net>]

I'm going to be using volcanic "sand" for my 1000 gallon "Monster Tank" project 'cos I'm not far from a volcanic (extinct) area. This varies in size from less than 1mm to around 5mm in sie, the only `problem is that it's a bit light and gets "blown" around a bit if the current is too strong, you also need more of it to hold down plants:-(. I'll be getting about 3 sack fulls :-0.
