Re: sand vs gravel

["Max Gallade" <mgallade@hotmail.com>]

I'm pretty happy with walmarts poolfilter sand.It gravel vacuums pretty good 
with a 1" vacuum.I always end up picking up extra sand but it's easy to 
replace at $3.00 50lbs.

Doesn't the fish mulm and detritus just sit on top of the
sand?  How does everyone keep that looking decent?
