I'm changing to a planted tank with gravel. The below is play sand at Home Depot. I have read that you can just spread sand on top of the gravel and it will sink to hold the plants. Is that correct? Secondly, won't it just get sucked up when you vacuum the gravel? Also, is there anything you need to do to the sand before putting it in the tank?
