Brand New 8 gallon bio cube

Brs has a great review on sand and how much you need and how many pounds

I had already checked on Marine Depot.

 

[JoshH]

Well, my tank supposedly will take 220 pounds of Fiji Pink for 2" so we shall see how that goes

They price match so you can go into the stores and grab it as well. Petco and PetSmart does

 

[Katrina71]

I have Fiji pink now. I got Bahama oolite.

 

[Why-Me]

I wanna go to Hawaii

We don't sell live sand or saltwater fish here at Petco or PetSmart.

My Secret Santa picked up 200 pounds for me so I don't have to worry about it I seriously thought about the oolite but got a little concerned about flow... Fiji Pink will be great for sand dwellers as well so I'm happy. I've used Fiji pink from the beginning and it's served me well thus far

What about the flow?

Your critters will love it! I know my snails do

All this talk about sand...I’ve got this bag just sitting here...it’s larger grains though. Impulse buy months ago, my thinking was that it would end up underneath the fine stuff anyway? Or would it look ugly?

Mine doesn't either but you would be surprised on the amount of dry sw good they have.

 

[JoshH]

What about the flow?

Just that in higher flow it might get blown around really easy. My Tang will have a treadmill of sorts in the form of an MP40 on the one long side and a 1000+ GPH return on the other. For me it was a concern so I just grabbed the Fiji Pink because I know it will hold up reasonably well.

I was actually thinking about the Mandy and possibly a Leopard. That was why I chose something a little finer. I don't think we'll ever have a flow issue on the sandbed at 24"

That's what I have in both my tanks.

It's fine sand but also has crushed shells and lil mini sand dollars and full shells in it etc.
I love it, very natural looking like walking on a beach or swimming near shore.

 

[Why-Me]

Here's the 20 gallon with very fine sand like the oolite.

Ok it’s going in the tank! Would it matter that I’m currently almost 1 week into a dose of fluconazole? (Found some bryopsis growing...enough said!)
