Subsequently, don't stir it too much as any anaerobic gases stuck underneath can be lethal. Sand is okay because it is too light to trap waste although larger gravels can still do so.

Sand/gravel you can find anywhere man! And if it's sand, it will definitely get sucked up the filter unless you have a sponge or pre-filter.
Hey bro! Nice to see U here. I am still debating whether to go for substrate. If not, U think birchirs will show there 'real' colours in a blue tank? Headache.
