Re: Sand vs Gravel

["Helen Burns" <helen.burns@bigwig.net>]

I use sand or a mixture of sand and pea sized gravel mix in all my tanks.
All species love it.  A couple of folk I know use the sand you buy at an
'Early Learning Centre', the parents buy it for their children's sand pits,
it is very cheap and inert.  I have also tried the fine silica sand but
thought it was just too fine, more like dust.
I think sand gives the tank a natural look and causes no problems with any
species.
