Beach sand to put in the tank?

[Robert_Lu999]

Driving from Brisse to Jervis Bay for sand would classify you as "crazy".

Where can I get black sand? Never heard of black sand. Black sand would be cool too.

Best way is to boil it in water to rid of contaminants, THEN rinse. Make sure you rinse VERY thoroughly and be generous with the time you take to boil it.

Remember, the more shell that is in the sand the more chemistry problems you'll have with it and check thr history of the beach to make sure they haven't had a pollution problems of any kind.
