Home depot...42 bucks each. Rated for 18,000 lbs each at five feet. i plan on putting one under my 150 48" with 1 1/2 inch x 4'x3' wood support under the beams and cinder blocks to anchor and raise the Jack. figure it will cost 55 bucks. Building a stand next weekend......now i need lights, another heater and 50 more lbs of sand and I will get me big boy running.
175 for sand....that would buy 795 lbs of great pool filter sand! (or 2.916 lbs of play sand!)i_tend_to_trend;4644713;4644713 said:
yah... i would have gone pool filter sand but im going with the black and white cichlid sand mix
Buy some PFS and then add a couple of bags of black cichlid sand?!?! Maybe save some dough. That was what I did and saved a bunch, but then I never added the black sand because I liked the PFS so much by itself. 50 pounds of PFS is $8 and 20 pounds of black sand is $20.00. Even if you did half and half, you'd save $80ish if you bought 200 pounds.
yah but the cichlid sand is just all around better... its larger grain than the pfs and it keeps the ph at a good leval without haveing to add anything
