Aquarium Advice Apprentice
Hello all, this is my first post, and I am the owner of a 135g Oceanic aquarium I bought last weekend (used) and am currently building the stand for it (I found a lot of good DIY plans for stands here!).
I would like to ask what y'all would suggest for use as gravel for my tank. I have a buddy with the same tank that is housing Malawi Cichlids and I am thinking of doing the same (but maybe doing South American). He is using Fiji sand and it looks great, but since this is my first tank and I understand it is harder to clean and all I would like something perhaps a bit safer. I have read some posts here and there about it, but I would like to hear what y'all would recommend for Cichlids and how much I might need for a 135g? Thanks, and I am looking forward to this new hobby! A lot to learn!
