Very fine sand at East Coast Park.

[silverfish]

Saw a lot of fine white sand at east coast park yesterday. I guess they are imported from indonesia.. Much more fine the grade 0 sand..

Dunno if it can be used for DSB for greater effect..

i get mine from the sea also

I would'nt trust sand from the beach. Just look at the litter washed up on the shore. And think of the oil spills in the past. And maybe seepage of terrestial chemicals into the sand. I would'nt take that chance. Especially when it is very tedious to remove sand from a tank once it is put in.

[sunny03]

dont get those that touches the water get those dry one the most u have to wash like mad

i dun get it... juz get those dry sand.. where ppl run ard.. build sand castle.. these sand can be use in our marine tanks? impressive..

[sunny03]

but i had already use it

Getting sand from beaches? Is this legal? Wait kanna caught and fine then not worth it. Anyhow only $6 for 10Kg of sand if you buy them from LFS.

Why take the risk?

[sunny03]

ney not taking it any more now cos have enough for my tank just that when u take it at ur own risk do anything u wan but dont get caught if get caught blame urself am i right

Sounds like Army theory!

Do anything but dont get caught. Else you pay the penalty.

not sounds like.. it IS the army's theory..

anyway.. I dun understand the influx of reefers trying to get 'free' sand from our shores.. Why the 'cheapo' attitude? .. if you are not really gonna commit, then dun start in the first place..

I don't agree with your statements.

Yes, it might be a so-called 'cheapo' behaviour but 'cheapo' does not equate to irresponsible reefers (at least it does not indicate the amount of time or attention he devotes to his tank) and buying the most expensive equpiments or chemicals also do not mean the person is very responsible. Hence, it got nothing to do with commitment.

If you get hand-down clothes or clothes, that does not mean you are cheapo or non-committal.

ah... but the fact that one is not willing to fork out $6/10kg sand would say much about.. what next.. also no $$ to get what ever is necessary? No $$ for test kits and all? ...

perhaps people like to save on sand and then invest on the test kits ma...cannot generalize people this way.

its more of a friendly competition or a debate.. .. unless it becomes like "Why You So Like That" debate (not sure anyone still remembers the group)..

[silverfish]

Hey.. why like that?!? I just asking if those sand are better than the grade 0 one..

[jas_soh]

cheers... hahaha.... please do not worry for us. we are not fighting or quarrelling...just learning about each other's perspective

hhehehe sorry to get everyone worried.
