sand for catfish tank

[FishFreaks]

what do you think? im tired of all the crap in the gravel..i was thinking it wouldnt be a good idea since our one catfish tends to dig under the ornaments. i thought maybe that would stir up the sand too much? also we have a hot magnum on the tank, if we could use sand, would we have to change the filter?

I have HOB filters on all my tanks and an internal one as well with pool filter sand and none of them get clogged or have sand in them. You will of course want to shut off any filters running while adding the sand however.
