In addition would you know how I would clean the sand before putting it in the aquarium? i perform weekly water changes and vacuum the gravel, is it possible to vacuum the sand? is having sand a lot better than having gravel? Is there anything else you think I need to do with sand that i wouldn't do with gravel?
