Sand questions....

I'm wondering, I have been buying SAND alot lately and it's starting to cost ALOT of money... So the wife and I were thinking that we could go ahead and just make our own "live sand" .. Yes, we realize it will take some time but that's the beauty of it.

With that known, I called up a few places (homedepot/lowes) and the two types of sand they carry are "sand box sand" which is supposed to be 100% clean and natural... Then they carry "potting sand" which has things like miracle grow in it.

Now, which type should I use? Or should I avoid these two ? Personally, the wife and I are wanting to get a fine white sand and some fine black sand so we can play with our base design some.

Thoughts/suggestions?

thnkx guys/gals, there is always alot of help here and that's why we are proud to be members here!

D= none of the above. NEVER use sand made for HD or Lowes or any other store like that. If you must save on sand, I would dare to say that you can get sand from the beach, if you have a beach near you. Luna
