[/QUOTE]hello, hi bob, well i think elzor finished our arguement,Eelzor said:Different sands have different happenings. Some sand is very bad and can clog, mess up and 'milk' the water . But mine doesn't seem to do anything like explained from some.
The "settles really quickly" part is exactly like mine. When i first got it i thought it would take a while to settle, but the good sands (like yours and mine it seems) seem to do quite well.Woodpip said:My ten gall community tank is mainly gravel with an area at one side with coarse sand for my corries, it is yellow sand and I have absolutely no probs with it ... no loss of water quality, no colour leakage and it doesn't go up the vacuum. the tank has an overall beachy look ... very natural and the rummies look great against the sandy area and the corries spend hours sifting it. I like the coarse one because the cories actually take it in and pass it out through their gills so anything finer would do them damage maybe.My advice would be go for it but don't go crazy with it ... if it works ok you can always add more later. I buy ready washed . you can put it in a poly bag wet it well put the bag at the bottom and let it spill out slowly. it settles really quickly. give it a go!
