Tesco Doing Playsand

[KirkyArcher]

As above "own brand play sand" £2.50 for 10Kg I don't know how that compares to other outlets, just an informative post

Can it be used for "ducks"?

Ahem! "this better not be some sort of joke"

I don't recommend Tesco playsand.  I used it when I first set up my tank a year ago (because I buy it for my kids sandpit anyway) and I found it to be VERY fine and tightly compacting.
 
To be fair, I've never tried Argos playsand so I can't compare them directly, but I assume from other positive reports that Argos playsand is slightly coarser and more suitable.

Surely play sand is for making sand castles not putting in fish tanks Daize!

1st time I've seen the stuff in my local Tesco Extra store and after a bit of a look about think Argos is still cheaper

Yep they get it in store seasonally around this time of year, they've been selling it for years though!
 
And yeah it's great for sandcastles

I use tesco playsand for my hamster to roll around in as it is softer than regular pit sand and I have Argos sand in my tank can't fault it... was cheap and my cories love ir
