question about sand

[streetsurf]

Hey guys, I live in Tampa, FL and I am looking to start up a 90 gallon FOWLR tank. My question is, what are the drawbacks from using sand from the beach??? Is it even feasible?? If so, which sand would be best; sand from the shore or sand from under the water??

Against the law, full of contaminations and is very dirty. Don't do it.
