New custome tank.

I was commenting on the Caribsea Moonlight sand in particular. As it's. 25 to .75mm in size. I had a Oscar in the tank. She would swim full force against the glass and cause what looked like sand storms. I had to change out impeller shafts a few times.

Owe your right it is much thinner. Just realized that.

Here is my offering. Little bit different but personally works for the look I wanted.

I agree with D deeda big chunky rocks work the best. Free standing or stacked, the big rocks stay put, despite digging Cichlids. Years ago I incoorperated Lava Rock in a hardscape. It looked good but due to the rough surface, regularly caused abrasions on fish.
I like the look of algae covered Limestone in an African Cichlid tank.
The Limestone naturally buffers the water. Here's a pic of a Limestone rockpile in my tank. Both end pieces weigh between 40 lbs - 50 lbs apiece.

Yeah just about all of those rocks are hollow caves.
