in my tank i used sand and I LOVE IT and poop simply settles on the top of it and is easy to vacuum off gravel it works its way down and is much harder to clean

 

[The Real 118]

will the sand get sucked up in the gravle vac?

Sand imo. It is more difficult in the begnning but one you get use to it sand can be a lot faster to clean. Just have to find the right heigth above the same to suck up cr@p and not the sand itself.

Howdy Real 118!!!!

If I were going to set another tank and based in my current expirience I would go with any of the next 2:

1.- Sand because is easy to clean. Sand keeps the dirt over it and makes you easy to syphon the waste out.


2.- I'd go bare bottom: It Makes your life simply and easy. Waste is eliminated more eficiently and I have seen some P's bare bottom setups that are really amazing, just decor with some bogwood and that's it.



Cheers.

sand $2.78 for 50lbs at my local Home Depot just make sure you wash the sand atleast 5 times

it took my sand 2 days to clear up in a 125 gallon tank
