I use black Colorquartz on all my tanks, looks great but end up having to do gravel cleanings all the time to keep it looking nice.

use red black and gold sand or gravel

I am new here, hello all, I would just like to say that once I tried the tahition moon sand I vowed to never return to gravel. I tested it out in a small 20 gallon hex and to this day i beleive it to be my best looking tank.
I now have it in my 20 gallon, my 75 gallon,as well as my 125!
