Gravel to Sand switch, opinions?

[Psylant]

Yesterday I switched my 180g tank from natural-ish gravel to PFS. What do you guys think? Pictures before and after were taken with different cameras, the "after" being a MUCH lower quality camera.

Before:

I think the before arrangement looks better, but it depends on what you like and whichever way is easier to maintenance. Either way, it looks really cool. Nice job.

PFS looks the best IMO. I run PFS in most of my tanks.

I myself prefer the PFS, but the gravel was good too. I switched for the sake of my clown loaches/ease of maintenance.

I have been using PFS on my other tank for quite some time. I was just too cheap (unemployed right now) to put it in my 180g.

I just took a video of the sand in the tank.

Thanks. The sand is actually a lot darker than the lights make it seem, because I have very "white" LEDs. The loaches seem to really enjoy the sand. They're always basking out in the open, or under that driftwood pile as seen in the video, since I put it in.
