RED SAND???

This is where I got the sand for my tanks. Great stuff, I never even washed it, just swirled it a bit to get bubbles off a some grains. The Floral is heavy and since its made for plant drainage there's space between the grains. Doesn't compact like play sand and drops to the bottom. You can use their calculator, but you'll need less than the 'standard' amount. My 225 only has between 80 and 100 lbs and that's enough for 1" - 1 1/2" inches.

I finally ordered the Barton sand how red is it??? I really want the most out of my bichirs colors
Barton 36cg is probably the nicest quality garnet sand out there. Here is an old pic of when I used Barton 36cg. Of course the shade can vary depending on your light.
The sand is a reddish-brown tint. The type of lighting you use is a key factor on making it stand out.
Below is the same sand in both pictures, but different lighting.
Colors I have used/are using now with the Sandtastik
baja blue (Kong's tank)
caribbean mist (Main tank/225, all other tanks now)
sour apple (Patch's tank, previous)
Patch currently has a mix of mostly carribbean mist with small amounts of baja blue
considering changing out the color in Patch's tank

Wow it’s crazy how different they are I have the color changing Bluetooth one so I guess I can try all the colors and see which is best
color wise I don't think they care too much but they definitely prefer dimmer lights. Most will probably try to hide when light is bright.
