what kind of sand do you use?

[bond007]

I've been having trouble with sand, I got congaroc and it was a nightmare. The grains were so small that the filters would kick it up. I figured if anyone would know what a good brand of sand is it would be ray keepers.

Preferably black

THANKS

3M color quartz. (potentially hazardous, but myself and others still use it and its discontinued but may still be available, it is here. lots of different colors)

pool filter sand. (cheapest, 100% safe but no choice in color)

Estes aqua sand. (different colors and 100% safe)

I also use pool filter sand in all my tanks. I think it's the best sand to use in my opinon.

I use pool filter sand. The grains are heavy enough for me to gravel vac even. I love it.
