zoo med sand

[Featherfin]

has anyone used the quartz Zoo Med Repti Sand in there aquarium? How has it worked?

Is it too fine?


Will quartz affect the pH of the water?

Heres the product I'm talking about:

lol, i know!!!! it really does!!!

gosh, its so cheap. i might buy it and try it on a nano.

$7 for 5 lbs isn't THAT cheap... (not including shipping).

However Petco or Petsmart may have some instock... hmm...ideas forming...

Did anyone ever figure this out?

Well I just had a chat with an employee there, and they say that they cannot recommend using this sand in an aquarium, because there might be things in it that would mess with your water parameters. But I think I might give it a shot.

check the packaging. if it says "not for aquarium use" than dont use it. if it doesnt say "for aquarium use" then it might not be for aquariums but it might work, just use caution
