Argos Playsand

[Gremily]

I've seen that a few people on here use Argos playsand as substrate and just want to check this is the right stuff:

And also wondering how much would be required for a 180 litre tank (47 US gallons/40 UK gallons), 101x41x50 cm (40x16x20 inches) (Juwel Rio 180)

Thanks!

Hi Gremily,

Yip, thats the right stuff.

2 bags will probably do. I would try 2 then if you want a bit more get another one.

you wont need any more than 2 ! ,make sure you rinse it really well!

yes thats the stuff, the sand should only be an inch deep at most, i think i only used a bag an half for my vision 180 and had enough left for a 2ft tank.

i used 1 and a bit bags in my juwel 180, you could get away with 1 but at that price it its best just to buy the 2 .

i used half in a 60l so times that by 3 = 1.5 bags approx so 2 should do
