what type of sand?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
best shot would be playsand..but if u want something that doesn't float around much cause u have a hang on filter..den u should get pool filter sand..but u MUST make sure it DOES NOT have silica in it...or it'll scratch the bottom belly of ur ray

There is a new brand just for stingrays...It is the Steve Irwin brand. Your rays will love it.

Ummm....sand without silica??? That is like water without hydrogen.

And am I to assume that a stingray has an upper belly :naughty: And they live in the stuff, so I am quite sure that rays enjoy a good belly scratch.
 
There are argonite based sands, which contain no silica at all, at least not detectable ammounts. These grains are smooth opposed to the crystaline formation of silica sand.
 
Sure...there are many types of localized sand such as the black sands of Hawaii. That is composed of ground lava. Interesting stuff actually. There are also the singing sands of New Jersey and the hard packing sand that made racing possible on Daytona Beach.

The point was missed (probably due to my sarcasm). Stingrays live in the Silicone based sands that are present in every ocean. It does not bother them. Florida is composed of mostly sand in its entirety. The fresh water rays here do not get all scratched up either.

The first post in this thread is nearly verbatim of a sarcastic reply long ago. The only problem is that many people do not think critically and will repeat anything. Now the sarcastic post is being repeated like it is good advice.
