    Switching from gravel for plants to ?????

    Thanks Coursiar I want to go with white or tan sand. How do you keep it clean? I've read about Malaysian Snails and they sift thru it but I don't want to deal the population explosion that seems to go with them. So I'm looking for any suggestions. Thanks

    So just sand would be fine? I do plan on some lava rock piled up in one corner. And some stem plants also along the back. If sand and root tabs work I'll go that route. Thanks for the advice so far
