Hi all I'm going to be re-scaping my aquarium in the next month or two and was wondering if using play sand was ok? I'd be using a 1-2cm thick decorative layer in front of the main planted area. The main reason for using it is for its cost-effectiveness rather than aquarium sand or gravel. I've only ever used Fluval stratum or larger-sized gravel before so I'm not 100% on sand.
Would the sand I'd be using be fish-safe?
I had also heard of compacted sand forming anaerobic pockets that can harbor bacteria.
But would this happen with only 1 or 2 cm of thickness?
Any response would be helpful Thanks
