Gosh I haven't used that in years! It was good for growing plants before they came up with better substrates. If you had digging fish, you should sort through the gravel looking for sharp and stick-like pieces that may break and form sharp pieces.
The sand is in rather small particles. So I'm not sure what you mean by If you had digging fish, you should sort through the gravel looking for sharp and stick-like pieces that may break and form sharp pieces.. Are you talking about particularily large peices? Maybe you had used Black Beauty Gravel, where as I have Black Beauty Sand?
I have and am using it .
So far I'm happy with it - it looks good and is cheap and I can't say it has caused problems of any kind in almost a year.
the only drawback is that mulm shows against the jet black substrate and it is a chore to keep clean.
