I'm planning a QT. I know most QT's will not use substrate, but I prefer not to look at the tank bottom and am planning to keep this up and running all the time with minimal decoration and a half dozen fish in it to keep the cycle going.
I'll probably go with a 20 gallon long and was considering using sand as the substrate instead of gravel. Just a thin layer to cover bare tank bottom. I've heard of people using marbles, but then thought of small glass beads.
Other than being a little carefull not to break them, anyone have any comments that might deter me from trying them? I wouldn't use much, just enough to cover the tank bottom. Or, maybe acrylic beads?
