Sand and Home Depot

[magyk]

I read online here that HD had sand that resembles carrbean sand and is aquarium safe
What was the name of the sand does anyone know
and has anyone used it what is the outcome?

 

[rane]

I have 250lbs of it in my tank and no problems

 

[magyk]

how much is it and is it as fine as carribean sand

 

[goldrush]

It's the best. Sugar size granules,very white. Sound like a commercial??

 

[magyk]

how much for about 60lbs

 

[robn70]

It's usually around $3 to $4 for a 50 lbs. bag.

I doesn't just resemble carribean sand, IT IS carrabean sand. And for the record it is not just surgar size granuals but many sizes that include sugar sized and much smaller including silt size. Mostly of the ootlic size, this sand has proven itself to be great for sandbeds.
I use it.

I called Home depot they said that it's called playsand (used in playgrounds and stuff) he also said that it can be used in aquariums
is this the stuff your talking about?

This is not just called playsand, it is actually called.
"Southdown Tropical Playsand" or "Yardright" select Tropical Playsand. The upc or sku number for both I believe is the same.'
I have the Yardright type and the number is 090604-201019.
Southdown users tell me if that is the same number if you still have a bag
Ask for that upc number on the bag and you got it made.
