how little sand can i use?
 
ok so i like the look of sand

but i hate when it blows around from the powerheads.


anyway to have sand bed in a tank with a lot of current without it blowing around?

It's all about the grain size. I have crazy flow in my tank (100x). The sand barely moves. The details are in my build.

cool thanks.... i've always used the sugar sand... but might look into something a little bigger

when i upgrade to a larger tank i plan on switching to a coarser grain for sure. I like the look of the fine sand but its been a pain in the ass lately.
