Re: If you were to just cover the gravel up, that (none / 0) (#2)

Yes the larger gravel definatly hides a lot of dirt and waste. Every time I do a gravel vac I get all kinds of waste. My gravel is just walmart gravel. It is a tad bit smaller than those glass rocks.. If you know what I'm talking about. I am definatly changing to natural gravel.
After posting that link you made me fall in love with the red flint!! The reason I want to change gravel is because I recently purchased 15 tiny freshwater clams. I was reading up on them and it says they like to bury themselves and you have to have tiny gravel or sand. I don't really want to put sand in my tank though as I read somewhere it can mess with your PH levels. I also am thinking about purchasing some malaysian trumpet snails and I read that if you have fine rock they keep it stirred up and clean for you. Do you have any experience with these?
If you have time to mix it up and let me know how it turns out I would appreciate it! I'm rather busy with work and college and trying to get the tank cycled. Now that it's almost cycled I'm going to mess with it. lol I think the idea of adding it in, a little at a time would do the job. Let me know how it turns out!!

P.S.

You should be a sales representative for gravel because I'm really purchasing gravel from that link ;) Thanks unc.
