Is like crushed coral. Not good. Just go with pool filter sand mbuna love and ur wife will love that u just spend $10 on sand instead of $40.

 

[Dom90]

Yea you're probably right in that sense lol

 

[LeoDiaz]

Yea you're probably right in that sense lol

Yea the cheapest and best option lol.

So looks like i'll be going back to Lowes to get pool filter sand



Do they make the sand in any other color than white?

Is either white or tan. But usually white, if you want black you will need black diamond sand.

 

[Dom90]

Yea tan would be ok.

 

[LeoDiaz]

Yea tan would be ok.

But finding tan is going to be hard, most store carry normal whiteish sand. This was my 55mbunas tank with PFS

You can have Lowes look up inventory of other stores in the area to see which store carries it

The issues is that u cant look up tan pool filter sand you just can find fool filter sand and you get what comes in the bag. I personally like black sand because it makes the fish look brighter.

 

[Dom90]

Yea I might just drive 30 miles out to get black diamond sand...

 

[LeoDiaz]

My nearest tractor supply is 15miles away u just have to drive twice as far. Lol

 

[Dom90]

Well, thats one way though, 60-70 miles round trip.

Something you have to get used to i sometimes have to go 50miles away one way just to buy some fish.

 

[Geoff]

I drove 65 mi one way to my favorite "L"FS the last two Saturdays.

 

[Dom90]

Lol... I'm hoping my search for mbunas doesnt take me that far
