switched from gravel to sand

[Jc1119]

Are the rumors true? pool filter sand stays down because its heavier? I always found my caribsea sand in my fx5 in my old set up. But i like sand over gravel i think. May want to go back. I can always try it in my 40 or 20.

Yes. Pfs is heavier than any other sand Ive used. it's a bit larger too



tank looks great btw!

That's good to hear. I'll get a test going tomorrow in an old 10 gallon. And yes that tank is awesome!

It looks great with the new sand in. I have black sand right now and I'm thinking about changing it to sand like yours.

Looks great. I did the same thing a month or two ago. here is the thread on mine:

I'm moving in to my new house in about 3-4 weeks and have to move all that sand! I used 4 bags (200lbs). I think I will scoop it out in to 6 buckets to make it easy to move since it will still be wet. Should be fun!

Enjoy your setup!
