i might be willing to do one again...... :mrgreen: ut it may cost every one a little more then it did last time.

Hmmm I was told the SWC was the exact same as the Caribsea. So if they are indeed different, put me down for the SWC sand.

if no one is in a hurry for sand and can wait till september/october for it I might concider bringing a bunch over as I will need a lot for a new tank.

Hey guys...

I just wanted to let you know that a few guys down here in Soutern ontario found an alternate to southdown....it is even whiter than the southdown...

here is the link with pictures and vinegar tests.....

I checked this Bomix sand on the web and it says it is pool filtration sand. do you think it would be the same type of sand from east coast to west coast?
IE: Home Depot carries southdown sand in the east but it does not carry it in the west.

isn't pool filtration sand silica based?
