Gravel To Sand.

[tibbs]

Hi guys,ive been given some sand out of a marine tank. If i wash it thoughly can i replace the gravel in my tank with it? Im just about started with a fishles cycle. How would i keep the sand clean when it was in the tank.

cheers

If you swirl the gravel cleaner in a circular motion just above the sand the debris will get sucked up

i dont know if i would use it if it came from a marine tank and is going to a tropical tank (?). i guess it would be fine if it is the sand and not the crushed up shell looking stuff. make sure it is not too salty for the fish
