Yippee...finally replaced my gravel with sand and all the rinsing was so worth it! 
How do you clean out the sand?
thats great... where are the pics ??![]()
Glad you've done this. Anyone who thinks they've kept catfish (especially Corydoras) but hasn't kept them in a tank with sand, well, they haven't really lived. To see catfish wallowing in the sand or spewing it out of their gills is really fun to see.
Be sure and read the primer on sand in the pinned section. There are issues to consider if you want to use sand safely. In a tank with catfish, assuming you don't have plants, then a depth of a few cm of sand will be perfectly safe, and is perhaps the ideal scenario.
Cheers,

Did you just buy it (the sand) from you lfs? (I have had a hard time trying to find sand).
