Sand seems to be the consensus here. I'll probably go with that. Any tips on how deep to layer it?
 
Keep it around 1-2 inches. Any deeper, and you risk anaerobic bacteria buildup. I use a thin layer in my 75-gallon, and it's perfect for sifting.

				Thanks for all the advice, everyone. I'm gonna go with sand and keep it shallow. Appreciate the help!
