    hey guys i was wondering where i could buy good quality sand online?

    i wanted to buy my rock and sand from reefcleaners but i cant seem to find the sand in their page?:confused:

    i bought my 10G tank and i just need about 15lbs of rock and enough sand to get about 3-4 inches.. ( anyone know how much of it i would need?)...

    also, this tank came with everything * sorta* with the hood and filter..
    im assuming i need to buy a new filter or will that do? it is just going to be a frag tank.. maybe ill get a clownfish but not sure yet. im getting a lightfixture i have at home that will work fine for the coral.. i used to use it for my 29G.

    The filter will do, just use it for carbon and such. We also have a sand depth calculator on the site here

    X2 on the marco sand. I wouldn't buy anything else after using his.

    Here's 3Reef's CALCULATORS page. Click the sand bed calculator in there and enter the info! It's in the Action Panel to the right of the page under User CP if you ever need to use it again. :)
