Sand for a 90G

Myka · #1 06-14-2010, 03:01 AM

45 lbs will be lots. I have 45 lbs in my 90, and I was able to create 4" deep sand on each end (10" long) for my Jawfish. I used that calculator, and it told me to buy 70lbs for a 1" bed with the 10" long 4" deep ends. I took a bag back. Hehe.

Thanks Myka! Do you have the special grade sand?

I have a mix some Select, some Special, and about 5 lbs Super for the Jawfish.

Any sponsor carrying Caribsea Special grade sand????

I think they pretty much all do - it is common stuff. You will probably want to find a local supplier though because the cost of shipping sand is atrocious.

I know tho... I just can't find the special grade here in Montreal, anywhere... only sugar sized sand... U_U

That sugar stuff is a pain in the butt. You could go with Select if you can't find Special, it is very similar...just slightly smaller, but nothing near sugar sand.
