I'm in the process of purchasing a 30 gallon tank and I'm planning the layout.
I was looking at some videos on youtube, pictures online, etc and noticed that I absolutely loved the way aquarium sand looks (I've always used gravel). My boyfriend raised the question that if I get a bottom feeder for the new tank, such as a pleco (This tank will be upgraded to a 75+ gallon, this is just a starter) that the sand might be bad for a pleco or another bottom feeder.
Can I use aquarium sand for freshwater tanks, and can I use sand with plecos and bottom dwellers?
If not, I'll keep looking. Thanks!
