They price match so you can go into the stores and grab it as well. Petco and PetSmart does
We don't sell live sand or saltwater fish here at Petco or PetSmart.

Order from Petco now!

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 :)

Ordered. That was 1/2 price what it is here.
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?

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.

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!)
