will be starting a new tank in a couple of weeks. i have always used Leslie's pool filter sand, which is light brown in color. This time, i want to go the route of white sand. do not want it to be too fine though. what can i go with and where can i get it from. thanks.

Aragonite from Carib-Sea is white and comes in numerous size grades. It is expensive and not inert, it will buffer up and can cause diatom blooms. Eventually it will calm down, but can take awhile unless you leave a micron filter on it for awhileIn the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king.

Oh man. I had the worst diatom problem ever with the Carib-Sea cichlid sand, but it did keep my pH at a nice 8.6.
Try the PFS from TexSun. It's the same size as the Leslie's PFS but it's very light in color. I have that mixed with Leslie's in the Tapajo tank.All bleeding stops eventually...Comment

Not bleach white. It's looks like it's from a white sand beach, so just a bit tan.Originally posted by Victorp View PostAll bleeding stops eventually...Comment
