wtb: sand bed (new) Edmonton
*** BOUGHT/DONE - Thanks everyone *** Currently downgrading from 150g to 75 g with sump. In doing some research I think I would be best off with a new sand bed instead of reusing the old. Looking for enough sand to cover the bottom with approx 3/4 to 1 inch. Any one have some new sand kicking around? Let me know prices and how much you have.

I was just reading about how phostphates bond to calcium carbonate in the sand and you should replace every 2-3 years(A post in RC i can't seem to find again). I don't know about this one though, since well the sand in a real reef i'm sure is a "little" more than 2 years old. Worth looking into though. FWIW I reused my sand with no issues.

Blue World has good prices on sand. $30 for 20 pounds I believe. CaribSea brand.

I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.
