    live sand strait from the ocean?

    you have to get it from deep eneough water where its clean. Of the beach is a bad idea (pollutants). Also, I know florida has strict laws, so you better check it out first or you could be paying a healthy fee for your sand. Works great if you do it right. Good luck hauling it back to shore...
