Sand questions

[Curtis Rouse]

so no one has tried petco black sand?

I have Petco white and black sand in my 55g the black sand is just as small as any other sand out there. As far as the anaerobic bubbles in deep sand beds go you shouldn't have to worry about it much if you have digging fish like polys. If you're worried about it you can run your hand through the sand once every few months and they'll go away.

No problem. If you didn't have diggers I'd suggest Black Diamond. Way cheaper

The Petco sand you are talking about is it Tahiti moon sand ? If so I would look for a different kind of sand like spectra quartz,3m or even garnet as Tahiti moon sand is very light, it can easily be stirred up and get in filter impellers and do some real damage to equipment

I don't think it's tahiti sand here is what it is (and you can probably see why i thought it looked like gravel) http://www.petco.com/product/115883...ted_Fish_4-_-Petco Black Aquarium Sand-115883

Pool filter sand works well for me. A 50lbs bag can easily cover 3 sqf.
