Quikrete All Purpose Sand

[Man of fish]

Is quikrete all purpose sand aquarium safe?

 

[onidrase]

yes.

 

[Man of fish]

Ok that's good because I saw it at home depot and it looked 10x better than the pure white play sand but I didn't buy any because I didn't know if it was safe. For some reason it was a perfect tan at home depot and it was grey at lowes...

 

[Man of fish]

Thats good to know

 

[Man of fish]

If it's safe I think I'm gonna get some today.

 

[Man of fish]

Does anyone else use this type?

 

[Crossfire]

I use pure silica sand, so I can't help you there

 

[Man of fish]

Well I know it has silica in it so

 

[Fishy friend2]

i use it and its perfect

 

[Man of fish]

What color does it look like under the lights? Do you think you could get a pic up?

 

[Fishy friend2]

the color really depends on the light, in higher lighting it looks a lighter color compared to a lower light setting where it is a darker color
here is how it looks in my high light setup (sorry for the loach)

 

[Man of fish]

Oh that's looks really good but I think I'll miss my blue gravel. I may do that river thing I suggested to that guy a few days ago.

Btw cute loachy :love:

How high light is that and what size tank?

 

[Fishy friend2]

its a very high light tank,considering that the tank is very small. only 60 liters its probably around 40-50 watts,

 

[Man of fish]

Woah my 29 gallon is only 20 watts.

You have 1/2 my tank size but more than twice my lighting lol

 

[Fishy friend2]

lol, I have a 15 watt light bulb in my 5 gallon if youd like to see how it looks in there
