best substrate?

[Mommaof4boys]

I have natural color gravel in my 44 gallon, I have blue both light and dark gravel in my 10 gallon and I'm getting ready to set the 20 up and was thinking about what I'm going to.use for it... So, in your opinion what's a better substrate and color for substrate... And yes, ill probably have some more anubias and maybe a different type of live plant in the tanks... Incase that matters

I like the Natural feel personally, have you considered sand, I use silica or pool filter sand. Looks natural I think. Some pics of my tanks for ideas.

I really enjoy the dark sand with your plants... It really makes bright colors pop! Thank you for sharing those with me!

Yes, they are all petsmart snail free specials!

Infact the firs two are one tank and the second is my second tank. You can see the growth kind between them.

That green plant with the white trim isn't an aquatic plant. It's going to melt on you eventually and possibly muck your water up something fierce.

? That thing has been growing like crazy? My Co2 diffuser is right next to it now. I got pics, but they are home, I'll throw them up later.

It's the yakoto grass that keeps dying on me. I think I need more than 30 watts of light in my 20g for those.
