I use play sand and it's good because me pleco likes do dig alot so the sand is coarse enough that it doesn't float into the filter.
It looks nice too

Use pool filter sand. You can get it from a pool supply store, usually around 7 to 10 bucks per 50 pounds. It is the best, most uniform and cleanest by FAR!!! I just switched to it recently and LOVE IT! Sand is the way to go.

I use multipurpose sand from Home Depot. It is a must to pre rinse the stuff. 50lbs bag for about $4.00 USD.
