oh nice... pretty. is it safe ive heard some can raise the ph? if it doesnt im getting it tomorrow so i can start cycling so exciting my first big tank a 120 litre intrepet fish pod......the opportunites are endless...

is your sand very white i cant really tell from the res of your picture. i know it gets whiter the more you wash it? could you upload a photo of it. or is it very white?

the journal has what i did in it... more pics there

i think it can rise the pH if its got lime in it... i dont think the argos play sand does.. (what i read in another thread)

and ooo nice =D get pics up once you put it in? =]

the west. its harder to find fish supplies where i live only four pet shops to pick from. oh there will be pictures. i went in to the hsop for a small one and it was on offer and had a bow around it and well that was that. couldnt even carry the thing. best xmas gift for myself ever..
