Garnet Abrasive Sand
- Thread starter FLESHY
- Start date
Update, the sand arrived today.
I will post pictures later but wanted to give people an idea of how long it takes. Was about 60 days + order to door. Sand looks dark, and was VERY dusty. Easy enough to wash and looks a lot brighter under LEDS.
Will post pictures of the color in sunlight and under black box LEDs.
Based on what I saw in person the much cheaper, ships now 36 grit may be a better option. I am not certain they even would have shipped had I not called last week and asked someone at customer service where my order was more than two months after ordering when they say "Will ship in 30-45 days" and that they will send a confirmation when they do.

In tank and day light dry in bucket
The sand looks awesome in there. What kind of polys are you putting in the tank?
No polys yet... I have about a 6" black wolf that will do a year in grow out in there before moving to a 150.
I am hoping that this substrate will help him lighten up. He is VERY dark but also blind in one eye. A really cool fish either way, but we will see what happens when he moves into this tank.
After he moves out I am considering doing a grow out for P. delhezi and or P. weeksii...I havent done too much research on it but those are the species I am most interested in due to pattern and size. Eventually hoping to do a fairly large tank (8x4') for some bichir, gar, and maybe a bowfin
