Hey guys I just bought 60 pounds of live fiji sand off of ebay. I thought I would let you guys know 'cause here at my LFS a 20 pound bag of live sand cost 25 bucks I got 60 pounds for 30 bucks on ebay, it comes with some free rubble rock, macro algae, and some snails. I thought it was a pretty good deal heres the link:

Good find. They sell white sand for 40 cents per pound!

yeah that guy sells everything, but his 40 cent white sand isn't alive though and you don't get the freebies!
You don't need it to be live though, the live rock will seed it.

Something is wrong/different about this sand. The guy just took the tank and poured it into the tank with water, the sand I got would have turned the water milk color like, his sand did not.

Hmm, just got it today got about a 1/2 pound of rubble rock two pieces, the sand is awesome It is bright white and smells of the ocean. I'm just glad my tank isn't setup yet! The instruction sounds like it would suck and would take forever to clean if water is in the tank. Anyways 60 pounds of bright white flordia sand I believe, it came with two baseball sized macroalgea clumps and 7 ity bity snails(I forget what they are called) Awesome deal I think!! Thursday photos of tank and setup will be online!!
