Ok, I'm getting my 125 assembly started this weekend, and am about ready to buy sand. I've been told that Pool sand is acceptable to use in a fw tank, but I wanted to double check that before I buy some. My only real reason for asking is the difference in price. Tank specifics: Dwarf Flag Cichlids will be the largest group in the tank, but other residents will be Boesemani's Rainbowfish, Pictus, Plecos (undecided species), and banjo cats, so there will be some burrowing kids. Only plants will be some Java Ferns.
Is there anything special I should look for, as preferential, or detrimental?
In my 55, I used the popular brand of aquarium sand that I can't remember the name of... clear and blue bag, comes in like 15 lb amounts? But I remember reading that for lighter colors, pool sand works as well, as like half the cost.
