what do u guys think of this kind of sand???

[clintvalian]

i saw some sand today that was a really fine texture to it. from .05 to .12mm. it's much more smaller than the normal large grains of sand that you can buy at the store that is "live sand." i was going to buy 2 bags of live sand and one large back of this smaller sand and use the live sand to fertalize the other sand for my 55 gallon tank. what do u think??

don't you guys have home depot SD sand in Texas? are the sands you mentioned aragonite sand?

 

[clintvalian]

i'm not sure what it is, it's white, and really fine texture.....and downhere all of our sand is polluted....

if you got it from HOME DEPOT; probably is south down; may I ask where you got it from?

hey clinvalian, it probably is carribsea; they make a fine particaled sand also;some people like to use it to make DSB;guess you talking about GLOBAL FISH & PETS; be slightly cheaper to purchase you substrate from FISHRANCH; it's only about 10 mins away from GLOBAL; prices on LFS live sand are cheapest there by as much as $20 sometimes
