[cichlid fiend]

I want to change up my 90g,but i cant find any at none of my lfs.So im hoping that somebody can tell me where to get from on line and to tell me your opinions on both.



P.S.-thinking either of the two with wood and rocks!!!!!!!

I've got black sand and I love it. It's good stuff. I have 3M ColorQuartz S Grade. S Grade is the smaller size grains. I've also used the T Grade (larger size grains) before and it won't get sucked up in a python. The S Grade can but it's pretty easy not to.

They have a distributer in my city. I can pick it up from a warehouse. You probably wouldn't want to get it shipped, it would be expensive. You may try contacting pool builders and sand blasting businesses. They use it sometimes.

This is where I got it...

You might could also call them and see if they know anyone in your area that sells it.





***EDITED TO ADD***
I've also got black gravel and I very much prefer the black sand.

Yes. The 55g has the Tgrade and the 360g has the Sgrade (you can't tell the difference without a closeup).
