Play sand. It looks nice and it's not hard on barbels!

Pool filter sand.... wish mine was fun colors like that! Mine is a dull white, still looks great though

I picked 75. I like tahatian black sand because it looks so nice for most of my tanks. The rest of them are bare because so easy to clean lol. So that is why I picked 75

...I think Ill stay away from that gym!

I wonder what type of "flip flop" protection they use in that gym.......I would imagine sore "kahunies" after a hard work out...........

LMAO! yeah I just wonder where the pic came from ? What site was ya on there Boss Man?

Pool filter sand is cheap and has the natural look.

...

I use live sand/aragonite in my cichlid tanks, so I chose other.

Since I get most of my stuff from someone else, I just take what they are giving away. That leaves me with "other".

other, mostly 3m colorquartz now a days.

Im suprised noboby has said anything about the naked pic...

i chose other. i like my black beauty sand blasting sand. because its cheap and black.

The naked pic is a little disturbing. That's why no one is commenting on it KMX!

depends on what it's use for...

I always prefer a little crushed coral and sand together.

I use crushed coral.
Simple, I keep mostly Africans, and it helps buffer the PH, and hardness.
I have to add less chemicals and salts.

Crushed Coral, and Limestone rock keeps my Tanganyikan tank perfect.
8.6 Ph, and very hard water. I do not have to add soda, salt or Epsom salt.

I use play sand in most of my tanks and I love the look...nice and clean. I do have gravel in a couple tanks though. I think the "naked" substrate would scare the fish (it scares me!).

Yep that picture is very disturbing

I use larger limestone rocks to up the PH, its much easier to change the tank about if all you have to do is pull a few large rocks and do a water change. I do have a few tanks that I added crushed coral to the sand and now I regret it, that limits those tanks to Africans unless I change out the sand.

I picked gravel but I've been moving to pool filter sand. My next tank will have a mix PF sand and crushed coral.

Where is the humor?
