Thanks for the information. I have all different sized ranging from a 50-30-15-10s-5s. I have a blue crown tail betta in a ten with neon & cardinal tetras & little habrosis catfish with plants and different shades of blue gravel, I may convert that tank to partial sand, like I did with another tank. It is a really nice look green gravel, striated pinnacle rocks creating underwater chasms ending in a glowing white sand desert with a few plants. It is one environment transitioning into another. And the Torpedo Beach Sand just about glows.I did a test on the site for my area / zip code

the other mailing options are obviously too expensive (and kind of unecessary, really since its a 3 day ship for standard)
based on zip code, maybe your area is higher I dunno. Also, you will not need the amount stated on the sand calculator! Go between 50 -70 percent. It's your decision in any case I don't know the size of your tank.
Later I will post pics of all my fish once Patch and Boss are in their 40 gallon setups. I'm waitng on the stands. Good luck.
It's kinda weird... if you're in Washington state you're a lot closer to Canada than I am! You'd think the shipping would be less.
The other betta tank I want to convert is a 5 with just a blue betta some plants, striated rocks, and River Gems miniature agate pepples. He doesn't get along with the female, so I will get him some other fish. I also have those in my castle tank. I may mix the Sandtastik green sand with the agates or keep the sand by itself. I will do small test mix.
I will look at those all Sandtastik colors you mentioned too. I like their largely varied pallete of colors. I am thinking a brown, and tan, or brown mix might satisfy the muted habitat needs of the fish, but also make the colors of the fish pop.
I am checking at local hobby stores, big chain stores and online. The product is reasonably priced, I don't know what kind of import tariff was charged. Problem is that because of weight, shipping is high.
