Can one vacuum sand? I haven't investigated it seriously as I envision it
all getting sucked up the Python...

Also if you "layer" it, the layer will be destroyed the first time you
attempt to vacuum the substrate.

I hear good things about Seachem Flourite and I was thinking about
purchasing Flourite and using
sand instead of gravel to use on top of the flourite.

Others have advised you not to mix for a 10 gallon tank. Attempting to
layer is
even less desirable: the sand grains will fall through th Flourite
pretty
quickly. You will not get the result you were after. Straight Flourite
is
awesome in all ways but cost. For a small tank, you only need one bag,
so
you
can't save any money anyway.
