Hi all,

Didnt mean to scare yall, it was mentioned as a precaution not the law.

I just had and argument against the dumping of it in the aqaurium unwashed for the means of keeping silt.
Silt will build up in your aqaurium in time wether it is wanted or not, it doesnt matter if you have a nice sandbed if the rest of your tank is dead...

I dont mean to come down on anyone who has chosen to dump it in, i dont care really,just thought id try and save someone a potential headache.
It just seems funny to me how many take so much time and effort to set up a new reef and spend piles of cash and not take one little extra step.

Jayson, I did not advise nor intend to scare people against the use of your sand....just wash sand in general, including any packaged for the enthusiasts.
Quite the opposite actually...i just purchased 7 bags of your sand 2 months ago myself.

But in all fairness Southdown comes from the same places as all of our sands...it is aragonite based and one and the same, it doesnt matter wich island.

Unless the original excavation was made especially with the aquatic industry in mind it would be transported and stored similarly.

Good luck,
