I don't like traditional pet store gravel and sand is almost too loose, so what would be a good medium? Can agranite (sp?) work in fresh water?
I just used sillica sand (pool filter sand) and I love it. I have black gravel in my 29g but I like the sand better. It easier to clean and my fish seem to love it. It was a pain in the *** to clean though. I bought 100# and spent about 1-1/2 hrs washing it in buckets in the tub. Even after that my water still clouded up for a few days after I did my aqua scaping but it cleared quickly with the filter (Aqua clear 110).
