Soooo I did that becuase I like the visual look of it and to let mushrooms grow everywhere.
I slowly removed sand with each waterchange. I 2nd the going slow and once you have it all out doing a heavy rock blow off and get that residual sand out.
I didn't realize this until I was about to add it but you need to super rinse reborn, soooo much sand comes out of it.
So far I'm happy with it, but it can be a little annoying to gravel vac if you go with the large size. You have to almost like drill it in to get down (maybe I just have a small tube lol). I did have a bit of a nitrate rise just from playing with the sand so much.
