So I was search for my clarifying packets to which I didn’t find! I did however find a beer can in my sand! YES A BEER CAN! Imagine if I didn’t catch this and it went into my aquarium! And no clarifying packets in either bag.
OMG! LOOK WHAT I JUST FOUND IN MY CARIBSEA SAND!

Ya there is all sorts of **** in live sand. Probably not much of anything live but you can find plenty of trash in it sometimes.
Just shows how much we pollute our oceans.
I never have that problem with the dry stuff.

Wait seriously? This isn’t Ocean Direct? Quality control is seriously lacking. I’m reaching out to them.
I would write the manufacturer and let them know the can was opened !!
Putting jokes to the side, this proves you are getting live sand. I have seen cigarette butts and driftwood and have heard of pencil, cond*m*, bottle necks and even a key

it’s bagged… it gets on trucks in the heat and cold and sits on a shelf for some time…
It’s not fresh sand or anything. I have never seen so much as a pod crawling in the bag.
Our oceans are polluted and dirty.

So this is normal okay that’s sad. Meanwhile I’m thinking someone in a third world country is drinking on the job and threw it in my bag haha.

I understand that I just thought it was man-made/aquacultured sand.
@Paul B would put that beer can in his fish tank and every fish in the tank would lay eggs on that beer can and spawn perfectly beautiful babies that would live for 40+ years

Has this been brought to their attention? Why is this a normal thing?

They don’t sieve it I guess?
Live rock is a lot better anyways and will easily seed any sand chosen with everything needed

Hahaha. Like me contacting them is going to change anything. Complete waste of thinking

Well that’s just poor quality control and stupid on their part!
Now I wonder what I put in my other aquariums since I love CaribSea but wow.

Regardless of how it got in the bag. It has no business there and it’s disappointing to see.
