Im looking for sand for my new tank but cant seem to find anything anywhere. Im looking for a non buffering, natural looking sand, that doesnt have any silica, or sharp particles in it. Im also looking for something that doesnt cost an arm and a leg (tahitian moon sand is just too expensive and black is ugly imo). can anyone direct me to a website that sells it? thanks in advance

3m color quartz, doesn't effect ph levels.

get the s grade. it's a finer grain and round in shape, no sharp edges. plenty of color selections.
