The fry look great. BurlyBear

I know that either a 1 inch or 3-4 inch sand bed is recommended but what is the difference between the two? Are there any advantages or disadvantages to either setup? Also I have heard that 1 pound of sand per gallon of water is good ratio, would you agree with this? Thanks for taking the time...
