Fine white sand

I think i'm going to go with dead/dry sand for my tank. Pretty much people say that's "at your own risk". So im going to take the chance. I went to 3 different stores last night to try and find Fine White Sand. Ok that stuff like does not exsist... I live in the Sacramento, CA area does anyone know where I can find some?

 

they sell it at our lfs

your talking about like the bleach white sand?

I'm sure you could find it online
you should take a look around

 

You can find it, but Im slightly against it too. Having live sand while starting a tank is really benefitial. I did really fine crushed coral that was live. I like it. White sand would be nice though....

 

I have the fine white sand and I dont care for it to much.. My gobies love it cause they sift like crazy. But it tends to make the tank dirty cause they throw it around and it hits the powerheads. It is live sand from a lfs.

 

If seen it in stores... get the fine "oolite".

 

I had picked some up at petco. I added about 30 lbs of white to 70 lbs of live sand just to give it a little characters in areas.

 

That sounds good. yeah i want to get a shark down the line so i want some of that nice fine sand. and i've seen some tanks with white sand and it looks great! i need like 200 lbs of it though. i tried to buy some online and they were gonna charge me like $160 just on shipping! thats nuts! so now im on the man hunt for white sand out here.

 

in phoenix its 1.60 a pound at ocean floor...
the drive down here wouldnt be as much as shipping it...lol you could spend the extra on a cheap hotel and drinkin!!!
lol...who drinks tho

 

lol now there goes a plan. Yeah my husband's family lives in Puerto Rico, we really thought about asking them to just send us some sand from their beaches. It would be very nice! = ) Thats doing to much though...... lol

 

i bought mine at petsmart they sell it in 30lbs bag and it was not live sand, i love how my tanks look with this sand! hope you find it my brand is argonite
