Play Sand

[soybean]

I actually think this looks really nice and natural for a tank, I'd definitely use that for fish. Not for kids though

It's what I used to play in when I was a kid, and I don't have any permanent marks.

Yeah, the minute I said I'd never use it for kids I thought "Actually, I played in far worse!"

most of the play sand i played in had cat s**t in it anyway.... nice !

Wouldn't let a kid play in it though lol

I'll be trying to get a similar effect with builder's sand, grey aquarium sand and various sizes of gravel - it's very "bottom of river/stream" ish. S'nice.

although not as aesthically pleasing as the whiter stuff, I do think that looks much more natural and reflective of a riverbed

I switched to the white stuff recently and I'm currently in the process of manufacturing tiny sunglasses for my tetra.

I think it looks fantastic personally. I would quite like that in my tanks!

I have to agree; I have sand gravel mixes in all my tanks; I find straight sand too 'clinical' for my taste.
