I was thinking of switching my 34 gallon tank from gravel to sand because I heard sand is much easier to clean. I know that I must put the intake tube higher to avoid any sand getting sucked into my canister filter. (Eheim 2213) I also know that I must stir it weekly to let off any air bubbles trapped inside.
I was just wondering what type of sand would be best. Many recommend pool filtration sand. I was thinking of going with silica sand. Is silica sand and pool filtration sand the same thing? If not which would work best?
