its a hard one and your going to get both sides of the argument now )))) its come up a few times and seams to be a split between the 2. I have???? not sure what you call it, a black sand or very fine gravel. anyway its very fine that it gets sucked up the vac so I guess you will call it sand???. makes cleaning easy cos crap sits on top. are you sure its white you want cos black looks good too and we also have a split choice on that

maybe black but a very bright white sand would look amazing
it would stand out and make everything look so clean

I've always used gravel. The idea of fish poop sitting on top of sand would make me want to vacuum it every day. I have a hard enough time doing it once a month. To each their own.

They both had advantage and disadvantages. Go with the one you like. I prefer gravel

I used gravel for many years, but have recently switched to sand. I don't regret it at all. Some day I may go back to gravel, but for now I say sand.
