Is This Sand Ok For My 60Ltr?

[mattbleasby]

Hey guys,

Another question from me

Starting my 60ltr aquarium for the middle of may, And want sand as the substrate would this playsand from argos be.

1: Enough
2: Suitable for my tank.
3: Is this just normal yellow or whatever sand? or will it be darker?

Its going to be tropical. With bogwood. and heavily plants.

Thanks in advance, I know i will need to clean it and so on, but just wanted to make sure before i buy it that its safe too use.

Link oo the Playsand on the Argos UK website. Click me!
Link too the Argos page with the play sand on it.

Hi,

I needed to work out how much sand to use in my tank and found this calculator click here.

I can't help you with Argos play sand as I haven't used it, but reading around these forums, lots of people seem very happy with it.

I've got Argos playsand in one of my tanks. Only had it in there a month or two and I'm very happy with it.
It is a quite pale 'sandy' (lol) colour; looks quite dark while you're washing it, but it's quite pale once you get it in a tank.
