Best sand?
 

Other than Southdown playsand, what's the next best brand of sand to get?

Caribsea Argonite sugar sized sand seems to be the stuff.

SWC sand which is the same as the previously mentioned.

Southdown is also the exact same as previously mentioned. There are a lot of myths reguarding aragonite sand. The truth is that all of it available to us in North America comes from the very same deposit.

Also agree on the SWC sand. Decent price and me thinks its available out there.

SWC sand is not identical to Cairbsea. I used 5 bags of each in my tank. having said that I actualy prefered the SWC sand over the Cairbsea stuff.

Duh :redface:

SWC has better mix up of grain sizes. It's not uniform like "sugar" but it is very fine non the less.

Sometimes group orders come along on this board. That's where i got my 10 bags last year.
