dry silica sand specially graded for use in swimming
pool filters.

Sand is high quality silica sand.
QUIKRETE® - Sand - Pool Filter Sand

Your thoughts?
 
I've read about and seen videos on you tube of people using it seen a few long term reviews and from everything I've seen it looks like a winner doesn't do anything funky to the water and the burrowing fish seem to enjoy it and best of all it's CHEAP!
 
I havnt used that brand of PFS but Heres a idea of what it will look like.
