Substrate survey

Hi,

I want to create a thread on what everyone is using for substrate from bare bottom to whatever kind of sand you chose, why you chose it, and your satisfaction with it.

Thanks!

SSB(~2.5") Pavestone pulverized limestone.

Chosen due to cost, and good reviews from others who have used it. Aside from the sandstorm the first week or so, I love it.
