Hi guys,

Just changing from gravel to sand, and I've bought argos play sand, but didn't realize it was this dark! :blush:

Does it lighten up alot when the lights are on?

Anyone fancy posting their tanks on here for me to see please?

Need to decide by tomorrow a.m or I'll have to pop to Maidenhead Aquatics for silversand.

Thanks everyone, :good:
 
well i didnt think mine was that dark. When its new it is really light (i have 26 watts of lighting) but as it starts getting covered in fish excrement it does darken a little.

In my signiture....big tank Argos playsand, small tank sand from LFS
 
If you want light sand look at Caribsea they have a white sand that is suitable for marine and tropical.
 
i used playsand too, but i wont be using it again, as its too cloudy, but thats because i didnt rinse it properly in the first place,so if you do use it get it washed properly or you will be making a hell of a lot of work for yourself :good:

I bought some sand from an aquatic centre and it cost £8 for 10kg....then had to buy more as it did not cover the bottom of the tank to the depth I wanted so I went and bought some from Argos.

The sand I had bought from argos was alot lighter in colour! The aquatic centre stuff was almost orange in colour in companison.

Had a heck of a time trying to mix it all in! :rolleyes:

Had no problems what so ever with the argos sand, murk wise.
Just chucked it into a bucket and put the garden hose on it afew times....
 
Thanks, now I'm really confused!!

Doresy, all three of your tanks look the same, a nice light colour.

I'm after lighter sand really. Think I'll go for silversand tomorrow.

Thanks all
 
just to add that after yet another massive water change today the tank is now clear, phew!! but it really does pay to do these things properly :)

Only have 2 tanks in my sig. ;) Really, Argos playsand is light both in colour and on the pocket!

LFS just over charge for their sand and you still have to wash it well.
 
this is argos playsand in mine.
