Default redecoration of eel tank

i have a FW moray (gymno tile) in a 55 gallon tank. I am graduating in about a month and im gonna have to move the tank to where ever i get a job. During this move i want to redecorate the tank.

i would like to use sand... i know alot of ppl say play sand or sand blasting sand... what is actually the best to use out of any type?

also i would like to make this look as close to the ocean as i can. what rocks would you recommend... is there a LR that can live in BW? if you could send me a link or something to find some good filler rock i would appriciate it.

if you could five me some pics to give me ideas of a barren "deep water" envirionment i would really appreciate it. oh and i need to get my ph up natuarally some time... a sand or rock that would do that would be awesome...

If you want the look of the Ocean, I would probly say Sand Blasting sand, Chatted with a couple people in Aquachat that say They didn;t have to wash it.
It has to be pure clean sand for that type of work "done it before"
As far as Rocks or sand rasing PH I don't think there is any, I know crushed coral would be the best bet to use for that.
And the Decor for the tank, rocks, ect, could proly be about anything you would like, short of live rock, which would be the most realistic but won;t live in F/W or I Don;t think Brackish water is enough for it either, Although You could use Reg Coral "not alive" for your decor, that would help to raise the PH as well, or maybe Look Alike live rock,
About As ar as I can go with it.....Anybody else?
