Bump for vacuuming sand.mikehawk said:Can you vacuum sand the way you can with aquarium gravel? How do you keep it clean?
mikehawk said:Thank you. That's kinda what I was worried about.
Will using sand as a substrate cause a cloudy tank with active fish, or does it settle pretty quickly? And if sand gets sucked up into a filter, will it screw up the impeller?
Sorry for all the questions, but I just want to find out if the low cost is too good to be true.
contender said:so, i guess an undergravel filter system woldnt be the best choice for this substrate?
suggestions for a good filter type?
thanks in advance.
