I am setting up a 75 gallon South American Cichlids. Do you have any issues using white sand (crushed coral) what kind do you recommend? Does it ever get into the canister filtration? Everyone is telling me to stay away from it but i need more feedback?

I've used pool filter sand for years and never had this problem. Even when I had a tank full of mbuna that threw sand around like confetti. Lighter grades of sand (like play sand) though, have definitely caused me this issue.

I've never had an issue keeping sand either. My filters were always fine.
 
I love those barbs, got rid of my school and have regretted it ever since

Nice setups...:)
 
The dovii is truly awesome. The tripod in the bedroom is a little weird. ;) lol
Would love to see the dovii in his new home when it happens. Keep us posted
