Someone mix two different sand here before and it turn out nice, i forgot who did it.Dang. Should I top the pool sand with a layer of black? (I don't think that will look very good. What if I mixed black together with the PFS? Or do I have to do full on replacement? Unless ifVancouver_98683 can send me some of that purple lol.
I think jwd, burtobman did. I know I did when I was redoing my tank the second time...:and then my tank got TB,so I had to put it all in the garden lol. Just wondering if that will be enough black though.
Tank looks great! Nice work Noah.
Thanks, i didnt add any black on this sand, all the mix was already there when i bought it, i planned on adding more black sand just to make it more darker but i need to find the right grain.Tank looks great! Nice work Noah.
Mine unfortunately doesn't have as much black in it though.
No dont buy that, maybe its not a natural sand and chemical that makes it purple might not be safe for the tank. Ive seen some red sand in micheals craft store and i was really tempted to buy it but i dont think its made for tank.
I've done a little research on it. It's non toxic, but seen a few threads on various sites saying had bad results for a few reasons ranging from bleeding color into water after a bit to a guy claiming it caused a massive algae break out.
Yeah but who knows on the algae break out coulda been from anything, stirring up detritus when he added or changed out substrate, him not really taking care of tank. Who knows? just some guy on some random thread in my search to get cool colored sand like you guys.
