I think I've finally made up my mind about going with sand substrate. Right now I have gravel and it looks ok. But I LOVE the look of sand. I've decided on PFS and I can't find it anywhere around here now that summers over. So I can order it from ACE Hardware and have it sent to the store. It's $12 for 50# bag. I've also heard that its heavier than regular sand so I shouldn't get much, if any sucked up during PWC. So here's my concerns:
1. Would 50# be enough for my 90 gallon tank at 1-1.5" deep?
2. Will my Aqueon water changer suck any up and eventually clog my kitchen drain?
3. How often does it need to be stirred up to prevent gas pockets?
I know a lot of you have sandy tanks and I've done a ton of research for weeks debating on this. I'm hoping some of you will make me a little less nervous lol!
