One more quick question...

Does anybody have any suggestions on where to get tiny tiny gravel for my tank? I want to go just barely bigger than sand. Too much sand is getting in my FX5 even with the intake about 10" up the back glass. I have a very active hybrid cat who will be going in my 125 when he gets a little more size to him and he'll be throwing sand everywhere.

I have the smallest grade of caribsea natural river gravel in my 20 gallon, but I'm looking to go even smaller than that. Something where fish waste really can't fall into.

Is this doable?
 
I use classica natural gravel. Very fine gravel indeed
