I love the look of it! But I’ve read alot that it is horrible to have white sand both cause algae and waste/dirt will show on it and it just hard to keep it white then. Or what do you say? Are you working extra hard cause you got that light/white sand instead of dark?I want white/light sand Oh and btw. Both tanks are awesome :) Well idk who told you about the algae but as long as you have fish who sand sift or scavenge it’s really hard for algae to grow on sand. I’ve never seen algae on sand actually. As for the cleaning, it’s much more convenient because you’ll have to vacuum sooner or later and the waste is already on the top for you to vacuum up. Compared to gravel where the waste falls inbetween the crevices of the rocks and makes it harder to vacuum. So yeah :D Okey! Sounds great then. White sand it is! ;) -- source link
