I'm changing the whole setup on my tank. A friend recommended using sand instead of gravel. I had never used sand in any of my aquariums and don't know if is better than gravel. My friend stated that sand is better because the waste doesn't penetrate into the sand rather stays on top and is easier to clean than the gravel in which the fish waste goes right into and then a gravel vacuum is needed. Regardless of which substrate choose I want to go "black". I would like to complement with a piece of driftwood and maybe just one or two plants. I forget to mention that the fish stock will be CA/SA Cichlids, mainly 3 - Red Devils/Midas, 1 - pleco, 1- parrot and possibly 1- Parachromis loiselle female.
