Sand...Reply ASAP PLEASE!

[DaisyGirl]

Hi, this has to be a fast post, and the faster I get replies the faster this can happen.

Does the sand you use for reptile tanks work ok in a fish tank?

Thanks, I really appreciate the quick replies!

It should, just rinse it very well. Read the bag and make sure there are no additives. It should just be sterile sand.

I asked this a while ago.

I wouldn't use reptile sand as it is usually calcium based, causing ph spikes and clouds tanks

ok, i'll read the bag first.

never mind, petsmart has aquarium sand-20lbs for $20 and its nice white. I'll get that instead

Or you could get a 50 lb bag of white sand for $5 at Lowes or Home Depot.
