For those interested in starting a Deep Sand Bed, I have found a fellow in San Ramon Ca. who is selling SouthDown play sand for $15.00 per 50# bag. Call Mike at (925) 785-7594. Or if you're in So. California, e-mail Murray at aguamb@msn.com. I'm not one of the sellers, nor otherwise affiliated, etc. just passing on the information.

Southdown is a fine graded play sand that is Carribean aragonite (reef sand) based. Makes a wonderful Deep Sand Bed for marine tanks.
BTW I wish I could just drive to my local Home Depot & get it for $5.00 per bag. All they have here in California is a silica base product which would work, without the buffering qualities of Southdown.
