A while back I decided that I wanted to try sand in my 5 gallon tank. it didn't go very well. I bought some sand from petsmart and it ended up being super fine. The filter kept moving it around a lot and it was just causing me a hassle. so I took it out. But I still really want sand for my 5 gallon and my 10 gallon tank. after doing some reserach it seems that a lot of people like to use pool filter sand because it has larger grains in it. I wanted to know what everyone thought of this. Also i'm open to suggestions of different sands I can use.
