Once I decided that I wanted the look of a sand bottom in a cichlid tank but be able to clean it like a bare bottom. I got about 5-10 lbs of pool filter sand and mixed it with a tube of aquarium safe silicone. Mixed it in a cheap plastic bowl then put it in the empty aquarium. It was a home built plywood tank 24 inches square ( a picture of it was in FAMA about 8 years ago). I worked in a well ventilated room, BUT the 24" depth meant that I worked upside down with my head down inside the tank......
I knew there was a problem when I started puking. No major problems just a little liver damage.
