mjck Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 I got mine from madpetz. Caribsea brand Ocean direct Oolite live sand. I used 2 medium sized bags 20lbs of the sand for my less than 2 feet tank. The caribsea webby will have the formulas to help you determine the amount of sand required for your tank dimensions . The sand particles are 1 ~ 0.6mm . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Supporter Harlequinmania Posted December 29, 2011 SRC Supporter Share Posted December 29, 2011 There are many various types of sand in the market. From pure white crystal sand, black , to coral chip . It depend what types of effect and usage you want for your setup. Live sand will usually cost more since it contain live bacteria and help to buffer the water.
