I love that color. It will look great in my tank. When you bought yours was it in the clear bags or the regular non-clear bags the ones I've seen were
Clear bag=grey
Regular bag= tan

And I hated the play sand. Just not the color I like it was almost a pure white.

im pretty sure that it was the regular bag :good:

Ok because home depot had the regular good one but loses has the clear grey one.
Also the regular bag was 70 lb but the clear was 50 lb.

wait, nvermind, i got the one from lowes that was 50 lbs. so it was the clear one :good:

sorry

Oh hmm then maybe they make both grey and tan? Either way the one I saw at home depot was possibly 50 lb but I think 70 lb. and in a regular non-clear bag and it was tan

That's what sand I use. In my tank, it's definitely more beige than white or grey. I used one bag in my 55g tank.

RINSE, RINSE and RINSE some more. Since I was starting a new tank, I thought I could get away without rinsing and it took a LOT of water changes and filter floss to get all the dusty stuff out. Rinsing on the front end will save you a lot of hassle and wear and tear on your filter in the long run.
