Best gravel choice

[toxicfish]

I like BIG light colored rocks..... $3 for a five gallon bucket at a landscape supply yard

Whenever I use black sand, my fish get black lines on them and looks tacky. I prefer white sand, makes the fish look lighter and less stressed. Ive seen someone mix black and white sand. UGH.

Tahitian Moon Sand is deffinatly the best for bringing out color.

Yeah it was at the LFS. Better than the neon colored gravel though. Anyone who has neon colored gravel should be shot.

My last tank I had sand, gravel (bit bigger than sand), pea size gravel, marble size stones, fist size stones, and bowling ball size rocks all in a 60 gallon. It looked very natural, and people often said it looked like if they stuck their head in a river.
