Looking For Light Sand

[Tish Fank]

hi guys thanks for the help over the past couple of weeks, i was wondering if any one here from the uk has found any good supplies of light coloured sand for their fish tanks. i have some natral looking sand but for my new larger tank im looking for sonething a little lighter to give it a more serene feel.

thanks in advance!!

Have a look at this thread: Thread

The fourth message down has a pic of mark's cichlid tank, the sand seen in this tank is the argos playsand, it is quite light.

Agreed, the argos playsand is pretty light. My dads got it in his tank, the cichlids love digging massive holes in it.
