Black or white sand?

I think black sand is pretty bad azz. Pic of my 10 gallon betta tank.

Black sand all the way. Although poop dod show it wasnt the primary reason my white sand looked like crap it seemed to grow algae relatively quickly on it as well

I think it depends on what fish your keeping and what colors you want them to exhibit. I have straight black sand in my 200 gallon with my frontosa, and black floramax and white sand mixed in my planted 55.

If you have your heart set on white. Just go buy the sand, and be sure to rinse it before putting it in your tank. Scoop out all of your old gravel, and slowly add the sand. Be sure to turn off your filter while you do it. Floating sand particles can mess up your filter.

I love the black sand. Makes my fish stand out and is beautiful. Purchased at Petsmart rinsed three times and easy to put in with no mess. Easy to scoop out stuff on top.

Made my tank beautiful.

Your tank IS beautiful. What's the story on that background?

I think its better to go with black sand as it gives more beauty to the tank.
