Just took out the rocks I tried yesterday and they worked perfect. SO i guess I didn't need to add sand. They are very porise and the water runs right through them. They are extremely strong too, I droped one and it didn't even break! and it had a cave in it. So today I tried some more and I will see how they turn out tomorrow. I'll take some pic and post them here too.
