       Sand in a mbuna tank

       I'm thinking of changing from a gravel substrate to a sand
       substrate in my 55 gallon mbuna tank. My question is what kind
       of sand will work and not harm the fish or change water ph or
       anything? Will pool filter sand work? And how much to I need for
       a standard 55 gallon tank?

       Pool filter sand is a choice many people use, You only need
       about one inch as the fish will move it around and if it's too
       deep nasty gasses will build up near the bottom. I think about
       25 pounds in a 55
