Alternatives to sand?

[Madonia]

I currently run a bare bottom biocube 32.

I don’t like how detritus and fish poop collect at the bottom. I’ve had power heads at the bottom which helps but I hate the look of them down there.

what’s an alternative that I can add to an already established tank? Looking for something to just barely cover the bottom. Can’t use sand because it’s already filled with water and livestock

I have heard of people using travertine tiles as a replacement.

I’ve added sand to existing tank with no problems. Just a little cloudy water. I’ve seen people use calcium rector media as substrate. I thought it looked all right.

Crushed coral is another way to go.
