what's in the QT?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Do you get yellow pool filter sand? I can only get red garnet and I think poll filter would be more natural in a yellowish colour
Snatch up that red garnet lol. Good point.Thinking about just buying some pool filter sand so I have something in the tank. The kind that we have here is like the white/tan natural looking one.
 
A lot of people here have pools so maybe yellow would be available. I'm going for a natural scape

The pfs should be available in numerous colors. Should be able to get a sample even to mix and get an achieved effect.

That's awesome about the different colors. Perhaps I will contact some pool supply places. The one near me only has the tan silica sand. But yellow or another color would be cool. I know there's quartz and silica. The one store has silica. Is silica sand okay for polys? Read somewhere that silica can scratch fish and quartz is better.
 
Dont remember the mesh size but its definitely bigger than the garnet. Sinks well too lots of people use pfs. I used lighthouse brand in the past sold at pool stores should be a million of them in florida lol
