Sand for stingrays

[T1KARMANN]

My female leopoldi is on it as well. It does show up on her more.

I do add 5 lbs. of fine dark brown gravel to every 50 lbs. of sand. I just like the way it looks.

Pool filter sand. It is 100% quartz and it is a larger grain than most other sands.

This is what I prefer to use as well. I've had great success with it in the past.

I'll be going with the blacksand from C. sea.

ive read before not to use a silica base sand

I must say - that pool filter sand does look very sharp and coarse. I would have thought that would irritate fish and rub their skin too much.

the trouble with black sand is it make the tank look very dark but it does work very well with flower rays and tigers as it makes the yellow and base color of thease rays look alot better

Most filter sand in the states is round in shape or 'beaded'. It works very well for use as ray substrate.
