I just use a small gauge aquarium gravel in mine...anything that is considered 'sand' is going to be small and light enough to get sucked up by a vac.

Sand no matter what you do is gonna be to small to gravel vac... anything that is big enough to gravel vac would be considered gravel. Alot of my friends tried the half sand half stone sandy stoney look and its real nice at first but the sand all just eventually settles beneath the rocks in all of their tanks. I personally just keep a sand substrate...
