Where can I get cheap white sand from?

[jpdaballa]

I just got a new 75 gallon tank, and i'm looking to fill it up with white sand...

I've heard about playground sand from home depot but i think it'll come out as a murky yellowish color, as i've never really seen a set up with home depot's playground sand.

I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions where I can get cheap, nice looking white sand?

Thanks

Thank's, thats just what I was looking for... There's also one 6 miles away from my house so I'll pick some up tomorrow... on the website it does not say how many pounds it is per bag? i'm guessing 25?

not sure, but 1 bag should be more than enough for your 75. My 150 needed 1.25 bags and my 240 needed 2 bags.

Hey, I have play sand from Home Depot in my 75 and it turned out to be a lot whiter than I expected it to be. This pic was taken three days after adding the sand, thats after rinsing it.

I have play sand in my 125 and I like it, just needs more rinsing before it goes in compared to PFS.
