I actually ended up using silica sand. 7$ a bag x3 50 pound bags. 6 hours later and it looks like a new tank LoL ... Too much work but well worth it!!

I took the pictures with my phone
Samsung galaxy S II ... It does take gr8 pictures for a phone! I was sick of carrying around the 400$ camera so I figured Id buy a phone w/ a good camera! Too bad its not waterproof though cause Id love to take underwater shots! But yea thats my tank with my baby fahaka
